In 1967, in what remains North America's worst mountaineering disaster, seven accomplished climbers died mysteriously on Alaska's Mt. McKinley. No bodies, journals, or other evidence was recovered and, incredibly, no attempt was made to rescue the climbers. Forty years later too many crucial questions remained unanswered. The international-award-winning FOREVER ON THE MOUNTAIN sought, and found, the answers.
