Several readers have asked if we could post a route photo to go along with all our Denali posts. So here you go. When I’m editing the Denali blog posts this summer, I’ll throw in some links to the photo, or just add it in to some of the posts. Denali experts out there, if I made any mistakes with the labeling please let me know. Click image to enlarge.
Denali West Buttress, upper part of route as viewed from west. Base image for this is the Bradford Washburn photo we used in my Wild Snow book, and is used here as a derivative work to promote book sales.
