Slovak Direct, Denali - Houseman/Bullock

At the end of June this year Nick Bullock and myself were fortunate enough to be able to make a rare ascent (6th overall) of the Slovak Direct on the nearly 3000m South Face of Denali 6194m in Alaska.

The four days we spent on the route gave us some of the most intense and committed but rewarding climbing either of us have done in the mountains.

unbelievably beautiful route. You've got to admire the guts of the guys that made the first ascent (with '84 gear).

A successful climb is a two way trip. You turn around before you run out of time/energy to get back down safety.

What an amazing climb. Thanks a lot for that twenty-minute fascinating adventure!

Has anyone free soloed this?

How do you know where to go when you're climbing? seems hard to follow a route
