1967, eight men attempted North America's highest summit:
Mount McKinley (now known as Denali) had been climbed before but never in
winter. Plagued by doubts and cold, group tension and a crevasse tragedy, the
expedition tackled McKinley in minimal hours of daylight and fierce storms.
They were trapped at three different camps above 14,000 feet during a six-day
blizzard and faced the ultimate low temperature of 148° F.
Minus 148° is Art Davidson's stunning personal narrative,
supplemented by diary excerpts from team members George Wichman, John Edwards,
Dave Johnston, and Greg Blomberg. Davidson retells the team's fears and
frictions and ultimate triumph with an honesty that has made this gripping
survival story a mountaineering classic for over 40 years.
