Denali, "The Great One" is what Native Alaskans call 20,320 foot Mt. McKinley. A mountain that attracts climbers from around the world between the end of April and July.

"Enthusiasm moves the world." ---- J. Balfour




This photo page is dedicated to the women who took to the air, risking everything to feel the thrill of being airborne, as well as the women who risked their lives on Mt. McKinley in Alaska, and other mountains around the world. These women have shown by example that anything in life is possible if the desire overrides the fear.

Pictured from top left, in the first row are Alaska women pilots Marvel Crosson, Ruth Jefford, Diana Moroney, and climber Carolyn Barry. Second row: Dr. Beth Baker, high-altitude campers, Jenny Magee, and Marlene Titus. Third row: Photos of Mt. McKinley. Fourth row: mountain guide Winslow Passey.


"The Wright brothers flew right through the smoke screen of impossibility." ---- Charles Franklin Ketterring
