This June, Zebra's Three Amigos, Simon Wallis, Jason Harvey and Mark Thomson, will be attempting to climb another one of the "Seven Summits", Mount Denali.  

Located in Alaska, Mount Denali (previously known as Mount McKinley) is the highest mountain in North America rising to an imposing 20,310 feet. The name Denali derives from the local Athabascan language and literally translates to "The Great One".

Denali lies deep in the Alaskan Wilderness and is the third most isolated peak on the planet. Its latitude at only three degrees from the arctic circle means it is frozen all year round and temperatures often reach -50C on the summit with wind chill even in the middle of summer.

Because of its remote location expeditions on Denali need to be entirely self sufficient carrying everything required for the summit attempt from day one of the three week expedition.  Each of us will be carrying packs in excess of 30kg and pulling pulks (sleds) of 25kg up to eight hours a day for much of the climb. In addition to the physical demands of carrying such heavy loads uphill at high altitude Denali is notorious for its unpredictable weather systems as well as constant danger from hidden crevasses and avalanches. All of these factors make Denali one of the hardest of the famous "Seven Summits" to climb.

Please give generously to help us reach our fundraising target for the Red Cross.
