The Upper West Buttress: our summit attempt will be launched from High Camp at 16,200 or the 17,200 foot camp. This is the windiest and coldest of the camps and the most exhausting to build. From here, it is 2.5 miles to the summit. Most Climbing falls on Denali occur on the Denali pass traverse.(The white arrows indicate avalanche paths.)
