This video may be a month old, but I only just came across this morning. It is a 20 minute short film on climbing Denali, the highest peak in North America at 6194 meters (20,320 ft). It is a physically demanding mountain to climb and due to its extreme northern latitude, the weather is fickle and unpredictable even under the best of conditions. The film demonstrates all of that and more and is a fantastic look at what it takes to climb this impressive mountain.
