 In 1937, 17,150-ft Mt. Lucania was the highest unclimbed peak in North America. Virtually inaccessible deep within the Wrangell-St. Elias range, it was pronounced "impregnable" by the leader of an unsuccessful expedition in 1935. Bradford Washburn and his Harvard classmate Bob Bates -- both talented and innovative mountaineers -- set out to climb Luciana by flying to the base of the mountain. But their pilot was barely able to take off alone, due to the unexpectedly slushy Walsh Glacier and conditions made it impossible for him to return. The two men were left stranded in the midst of the Yukon's most rugged wilderness with only half their team and part of their supplies. Washburn and Bates determined to climb Luciana anyway, traverse the mountain, and head for Kluane Lake, more than 100 miles to the east across virtually unknown territory. Their route required them to cross the Donjek River, one of North America's wildest rivers. David Roberts, the renowned outdoor writer and contributing editor to Outside Magazine, has colloborated with Brad Washburn to bring a record of the Luciana expedition account to print.
