TheNumberNine Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 http://www.alaskadispatch.com/article/park-service-dead-mount-mckinley-climber-switzerland This is really sad news...May seems like a brutal month on the mountain in terms of weather. Lets be safe on Denali this year, boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genepires Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 sad. lucky that 3 people lived though. -20F with high winds at altitude and someone in the crew with a broken leg is a very bad situation. These conditions are not unheard of in june also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryland_moore Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Maybe for this year, but I always prefer May as the weather seems more stable on average. A little colder yes, but I went up and down in mid-May in 13 days without a single weather day. Just is something that cannot be controlled.
