Not a guide to Denali, but some nice footage nonetheless...:

This DVD is not a comprehensive guide to how to climb this mountain - if that's what you're looking for, you will not find it.

A fair look at the climbing skills needed, good details on the campsites used, and hard facts about the weather challenges every team faces on that mountain. I loved the views from high on the mountain.
