Denali Route

West Buttress is the “Normal” route for ascending Denali and you also have an option of West Rib and much more difficult Cassin Ridge. If Cassin Ridge is not enough, consider Canadian Direct, Slovak Direct and Harvard route.

Mere mortals, like myself, just go up Western Buttress, which takes 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the weather.
