The first ascent of McKinley’s West Buttress was one of the most significant ascents in Alaskan mountaineering history. Since Brad Washburn’s pioneering first ascent in 1951 over 12,000 people have climbed McKinley, most by its popular West Buttress Route. Using Brad’s original 16mm film footage shot during the 1951 expedition this film details the expedition which forever changed the history of McKinley.
