Jon Krakauer

Jon Krakauer Instagram – All black lives matter, especially those with whom we have shared deeply personal moments. In 2013 I spent an intense month asending the highest mountain in North America on an expedition that included 2 black men—@rhudsonsb and @phil_henderson. Hudson is a brilliant young snowboarder who was getting his first exposure to big Alaska peaks; Phil, a dusty old boomer like me, has a long, distinguished career as an outdoors educator and adventurer. Climbing Denali with these special humans was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Photo 1: Hudson carrying his splitboard high on the West Buttress. Photo 2: Phil celebrating 20,310 feet above sea level. Photo 3: Phil and me feeling the summit joy. Photo 4: Hudson chilling at 14k. Photo 5: Me, @conrad_anker, and Phil at advance basecamp. Photos by @ktmillerphoto, @mj_haugen, @brodyleven, and Phil. | Posted on 27/Jun/2020 02:02:37
