This is The Blue Tarp, stories from Alaska’s Northern Susitna Valley as told by those who lived them. So far this season, we’ve covered many aspects of climbing Denali, including how harrowing expeditions can be when they go wrong. Today, we’re going to hear from Alaskan climbers, most of whom have been on the mountain many times, about some of the scarier situations they’ve faced while on North America’s highest peak. We welcome you to join us as we hear about bad weather, rescues, and close calls. Whether you’re an old timer or a newcomer, there’s room under The Blue Tarp for everyone.
