Difficulty to climb
Climbing Denali might be less difficult than climbing mountains like K2 and Nanga Parbat. However, it should never be underestimated. The climb to Denali requires good technical climbing training and expert training in using mountaineering gears like crampons and ice-axe.
The climbers should also be well trained to deal with the extreme conditions of the mountains like avoiding avalanches, besides the usual altitude sickness. Denali is the coldest mountain among all other mountains, where there are long winters with the temperature reaching up to -30 degrees. There is also the constant strong wind blowing through the mountain.
This not only gives rise to cases like hypothermia but also increases the chances of avalanches. One needs to be ready and well-adjusted to the extreme arctic conditions before attempting to reach its summit.

When is Denali usually climbed?
Denali is the coldest mountain of all where during winter the temperature drops to -30 degrees. So, the best season for an expedition to Denali is from May to July when it’s summer. The weather is somewhat less harsh.
The temperature is also warm during the day as high as 19 degrees in the lower plains, while zero at higher parts and during the night. Also, the weather is stable during these months, so climbers have to face fewer difficulties.
How hard is it to climb Denali?
The climb to Denali might not be as hard as that to K2 and Nanga Parbat. However, it can’t be underestimated. One needs to have good technical climbing skills and be familiar with using different basic mountaineering gadgets like crampons, ice axes.
Also, Denali has extreme arctic climate because of which the temperature drops up to -30 degrees and strong winds are blowing everywhere. This not only increases the risks of hypothermia but also increases the chances of avalanches. The climbers must be properly prepared and guided during the expedition to reach the summit and descend back safely.
How long does it take to climb Denali?
Climbing Denali might be an adventurous, thrilling and self-refreshing activity yet it is dangerous too, so making a rush might not be the best thing to do considering your safety. The trip will be for 26 days. There will be rest days and short hikes for adjusting ourselves with the high altitude and climate.
