100 Dead on Denali

I was looking for news on Denali when I stumbled across an interesting article on the Anchorage Daily News website.

It's got some info on the 2 missing Japanese climbers' ascent and some general stats about climbing fatalities in Alaska.

The stats serve as a good reminder that it's the descent that's often the killer!
