BLAST FROM THE PAST ... first ascent of west rib on denali

On my first trip to Denali, after Dandy Don balked at the Cassin Ridge, we headed up this terrific route and shortly thereafter headed back down again, after our stove exploded and burned up our tent, and almost fried Mike Brochu. (In this pre-internet day we did not know about the traverse over to the West Buttress.)
