If there was one peak on my North American Highest list that was worth climbing a second time, it was Denali, and I was eager to see the historic Muldrow Route. I was also interested in a traverse of the great peak.

Denali seen from the top of 7,010-foot “Syzygy Summit.” The Muldrow Glacier is the right glacier, and the Traleika Glacier is the left glacier. The sun-shadow ridge between the two glaciers is the Carpe Ridge leading to 11,140-foot Mount Tatum. This ridge ultimately becomes Karstens Ridge. The 20,320-foot South Peak is on the left, and the 19,470-foot North Peak is on the right.

The Hill of Cracks on the Muldrow Glacier. The cloud-shrouded summit in the center is the North Peak. The sunlit feature below the North Peak is the 11,650-foot Flatiron. You can just see the South Peak left of center.
