## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Contents and reviews of Denali, Summit of North America pocket guide
*by H***Y on 6 November 2006*

First of all, I am the author, so the 5 stars might be a bit subjective :)As the information above does not say much about the book itself and it appears nearly impossible to update that info, I though I'd tell a bit more about the book here, so you can decide if this is useful for you.At 6194 m (20,320 ft) Denali (Mt McKinley) is the highest mountain in North America. Its arctic latitude makes for extreme weather conditions and its remote location in the Alaskan wilderness means that climbing teams must be self-reliant and experienced. The book focuses on the West Buttress route used by 80-90% of climbers.The pocket-sized guidebook provides all you need to plan and enjoy your summit attempt:* concise advice about preparation and planning* how to prevent and manage altitude sickness* practical tips on load-carrying and, glacier travel and camping* an extensive gearlist and advice on the use of sleds* fold-out map showing the West Buttress route* step-by-step description of the route and campsites* 96 waterproof pages with open-flat binding* in full colour, with over 60 photographs, some of them full page.It is the same size as the Aconcagua pocket guide and fits in most pockets, being only 115grams/4oz and 14.5 x 11.5 x 0.8cm in size (5.7 x 4.5 x 0.3 inch). It can handle the snow you will meet on Denali without weakening the pages.We had some knowledgeable people proofread the book, here are their reactions:*** Reviewed by seven-summiteer Jake Meyer ***This is the ultimate `bible' dedicated to climbing McKinley. What a pleasure to read an up-to-date, comprehensive guidebook for climbing in one of the most beautiful yet inhospitable environments on Earth. The wonderful pictures remind me of the awe-inspiring scale of the Alaska Range and a memorable expedition. It's informative, enjoyable and beautifully presented, and should be top of every Denali adventurer's kit list, to accompany them every step of the way.The format is snowproof, windproof and probably climberproof. In the military, we use TAMs (Tactical Aide Memoires) to cope with every imaginable situation, and Harry's book is the ultimate TAM for climbing Denali. Whether it guides you to the summit, or merely adds to the library of the armchair adventurer, this book is an essential part of the team.-- Jake Meyer, who in 2005 became the youngest man to complete the '7 summits'.*** Reviewed by Daryl R Miller, Denali Park Ranger"This book contains lots of good information and advice and it'll help you prepare for your expedition. But to climb Denali you also need patience and hunility"-- Daryl R Miller, South District Ranger, Denali National Park & PreserveMr Miller is absolutely correct, do not underestimate this beautiful mountain. Thanks for your attention, hope this guide will make your climb safer, more enjoyable and more successful.As always: Keep climbing, but be safe.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Denali Summit of North America
*by S***E on 8 July 2011*

'Once again Kikstra arms the mountaineer with all the salient information required to launch a successful expedition and summit bid; on one of the worlds' coldest and demanding mountains. It's concise writing and indeed book size means it travelled with me from the base camp to the summit, whilst other guide books were discarded during my expedition because of irrelevance regarding other routes and size. It is a must if you are considering doing the West Buttres Route'.
