During 1992 at least 11 people perished while attempting to climb the slopes of Mount McKinley in Alaska. Since 1932, more than 75 people have died on that mountain. Winds atop Mount McKinley gust up to 200 m.p.h. Storms can dump shoulder-deep snow in a few hours. And wind chill factors fall to levels found in Antarctica. Professional climbers comment that many of the recent deaths have been due to climbers underestimating the difficulty of the mountain. They fail to consider the cost that is involved in making the climb.
