Story of climb to the top of Mt McKinley
Grace Des Champs profiles Barbara Washburn, wife of expedition leader Bradford Washburn, as the first woman to reach Alaska's Mount McKinley summit. She spent 72 days on the peak, carried a 3 pound pack daily, cooked for the team, tested clothing, and kept radio contact with home. The Army Air Force supplied supplies and the expedition is hailed as possibly the best ever.
