In 1937, Mount Lucania was the highest unclimbed peak in North America. Surrounded by the glacial mountains of Alaska, Lucania was all but inaccessible. This is the story of the first ascent by two daring young climbers, Brad Washburn and Bob Bates. It is a tale of adventure, danger and comradeship.
