Annual Mountaineering Summaries

Each year, the staff at the Talkeetna Ranger StationĀ compiles a summary of mountaineering activities in Denali National Park and Preserve. TheĀ 2011 Annual Mountaineering Summary is available now, and includes our yearly rescue and medical summaries, a statistical review, a rundown of notable ascents, and other articles about our mountaineering program and the people who help make it all happen.
