Uhh, maybe you mean Howard Snyder's book, "Hall of the Mountain King".

Minus 148 was about the first winter ascent of Denali. Hence the title.

I didn't particularly care for Forever on the Mountain. Wierd can of worms to open back up. The updated bio's on the guys involved was pretty interesting, though.

Wilcox's "White Winds" is a fair read, especially given the attention he got following that trip.

Yeah, Warren McDonald's book is a good read.
