The history of mountaineering began on Denali with the legendary
story of four gold miners (called "Sourdoughs" because they carried
sourdough starter with them at all times) who claimed to have
summited after climbing more than 8,000 feet of steep snow and ice,
then back down again-all in a single and incredibly dangerous day
in 1910. Lugging a 25-pound, 14-foot flagpole to mark their
success, they took on North America's highest peak using sheet
metal crampons, coal shovels, hatchets, and alpenstocks to balance
their way up the mountain. Was the expedition a success or a hoax?
Denali climber Jon Waterman brings this colorful mountaineering
mystery to life.
