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.
