The temperature could reach minus one hundred degrees, but even that didn't stop them. In 1967, a group of 8 climbers decided to make the winter first ascent of the highest North American mountain, Denali, known as Mount McKinley.
How could they withstand the cold, the winds and the lack of oxygen at altitudes above 5,000 meters? How did they deal with situations when the feeling temperature dropped to minus one hundred degrees and they were trapped in the ice massif?
We invite you to meet Art Davidson, one of the participants of the expedition that rewrote the history of mountaineering and at the same time became the subject of his documentary book One Hundred Below Zero.
Mirka Šulcová will talk with Art.
