The mountain's history—from Harper’s ascent to the Denali Damsels—reflects human grit, aspiration, and the thrill of summiting despite the odds. Nestled in the heart of Alaska, Denali stands at 20,310 ft—North America’s tallest peak. But its true power lies not just in its elevation, but in its story: for centuries, the Koyukon Athabascan people called it Dinale, meaning “the High One” or “the Great One”—a name that reflects its immense physical magnitude and deep spiritual presence. For mountaineers, Denali is the ultimate test: its brutal weather, extreme altitude, and vast vertical rise demand gear that performs. This leads us to phase two, Project Denali.
