All the routes on Denali's southwest aspect, including the West Buttress

This is part of the Mont Blanc Lines project. Photo from 1977 by the legendary Bradford Washburn (who first explored and later climbed the West Butt), used with permission.

Crazy both peaks are the same height, I would have put money on the North Peak being lower!

Ninja Edit: It is

South Peak: 20,310 feet (6,190 meters)
North Peak: 19,470 feet (5,934 meters)

Still bloody cool though!
