Summary
Three Latvian climbers perished on Mount McKinley after a fall near Denali Pass, a treacherous stretch of the West Buttress route known for icy slopes and sudden weather shifts. A fourth climber survived and was rescued by helicopter. Despite safety anchors and the route’s popularity, the mountain’s extreme conditions—crevasses, avalanches, and altitude—have claimed over 130 lives, reminding all that even the most prepared climbers face deadly risks.
