Alaska Ranger: Mark Westman II The Firn Line Podcast

Mark Westman is one of Alaska’s most prolific alpinists. On Denali alone, Westman has climbed a myriad of monumental routes including the Cassin Ridge, Isis Face, Denali Diamond and Slovak Direct. He’s also climbed a number of important routes on other Alaska Range peaks including Mount Hunter, Mount Silverthrone and Mount Huntington.
In this classic episode from season one, Westman traces his roots in the outdoors, the important partnerships in his life and the challenges he’s faced in and out of the mountains.
