In 1967, seven young men, members of a twelve-man expedition led by twenty-four-year-old Joe Wilcox, were stranded at 20,000 feet on Alaska's Mount McKinley in a vicious Arctic storm. Ten days passed while the storm raged, yet no rescue was mounted. All seven perished in what remains the most tragic expedition in American climbing history.

Revisiting the event in the tradition of Norman Maclean's Young Men and Fire, James M. Tabor uncovers elements of controversy, finger-pointing, and cover-up that make this disaster unlike any other.

This thrilling reiteration of the 1967 disaster on McKinley was an entertaining and informative read. I enjoyed that the author explained multiple viewpoints from the disaster which caused many disagreements between the climbing teams. He took the time to interview who he could, and even included a “where are the survivors now” section. Loved it!

Detailed and thrilling!

Very Well-Researched and Written

I read this before listening. Obviously the content is the same. It's a political piece probably "inspired" by "mountaineer" Joe Wilcox. Who in my opinion is a piece of spineless trash.

First!
