Mt. McKinley. A July report from Alaska tells of an apparently unsuccessful 1948 attempt to climb Mt. McKinley, and further attention to this mountain is shown in letters from the leader of a projected French expedition.

In addition, Bradford Washburn supplies an interesting table showing the length of time certain individuals or parties have spent on Mt. McKinley. Elapsed round-trip times from McGonagall Pass for successful or nearly successful parties follows:

1. Terris Moore (Army, 1942)



6 days, 8 hrs.



2. Herreid-Mills-Daub (1947)



14 days, 4 hrs.



3. Browne (1912)



29 days



4. Lindley (1932)



29 days



5. Stuck (1913)

6. Operation White Tower (1947)
