Detailed Product Description

Denver, 1984, 1st edition. 136 pp, color photos. A now legendary climb on Mount Hunter with Peter Metcalf, Pete Athans and Glenn Randall. Paperback, Very Good or Fine.  SIGNED by Fred Beckey.

From Wikipedia: “Mount Hunter, or Begguya, is a mountain in Denali National Park in Alaska. It is approximately 8 miles (13 km) south of Mount McKinley, or Denali, the highest peak in North America. 'Begguya' means child (of Denali) in the Dena'ina language. Mount Hunter is the third highest major peak in the Alaska Range.

Mount Hunter has a complex structure: it is topped by a large, low-angled glacier plateau, connecting the North (Main) Summit and the South Summit (13,965 feet/4,257 m). Long, corniced ridges extend in various directions; between them are exceptionally steep faces. Hunter is the 11th highest peak in the United States and the 25th highest peak in North America.

Despite being much lower in elevation than Mount McKinley, Mount Hunter is a more difficult climb, due to its steep faces and corniced ridges; it also sees far less traffic than its larger neighbor. Fred Beckey, Heinrich Harrer and Henry Meybohm completed the first ascent in 1954, via the long West Ridge; this was a great accomplishment for the time, and used techniques such as extensive front-pointing which were unusual in the climbing world.
