Did you know...
... that today is Mount McKinley Climbing Day? On this day in
1913, Hudson Stuck, an Alaskan missionary, led the first successful ascent of Mt. McKinley, the highest point on the American continent at 20,320 feet. Today, over 1,000 hopeful
climbers attempt to scale Mt. McKinley each year, with about
half of them successfully reaching their goal.
