In this episode, we have climbing legends Jamie Logan, Jack Tackle, and Ken Currens on the podcast to retell the story of an accident and rescue on Denali from 1979. Jack Tackle and Ken Currens were climbing partners with a number of big mountains and first ascents under their belt, and in 1979, it was their first trip to the Alaska Range.
They had decided to attempt the unclimbed southeast face of Denali (also known as Mount McKinely). This face would later become known as the Isis Face. In the middle of the climb, Ken, on lead, took a 250 ft fall when snow gave way beneath him. Once the rope came taught, he was hanging in mid air over a cliff, his femur badly broken. The rescue that followed is a story for the ages.
We dive into the mechanics of the accident, what Jack Tackle had to do to get help, and how Jamie Logan and Mugs Stump—two of the most impressive alpinists of the time—were critical in helping save Ken. She and Mugs are especially known for the first ascent of the Emperor Face the year before, and though Mugs has passed, Jamie was able to fill us in on their experience of the rescue.
In this episode, these climbing legends put together, in real time, the pieces of this story (that they all remember a tad bit differently)—47 years later.

"I have no desire to criticize the youth of today. The Sherpas have my total respect. Today, they understand the role that they have played in Himalayan mountaineering. I helped to set up the Sherpa Himal museum in Namche to underline this. Their achievements are remarkable."

That's also how the start of the outdoor #climbing season can start... And since here we don't only post our wins... Stay safe fellow rock climbers (it's not too bad)

Really nice day with hearing Siebe van Hee and Lynn Hill speak on one of my favorite subjects: climbing. ️
Lynn Hill started climbing around 1973. She did an 8b three years ago, when she was 62 years old.

After that we needed some fresh air and went for a walk near Kasteel de Haar.

Falls nein: gibt es hier jemanden der List hätte sowas anzugehen?
