When a solo climber makes a fatal mistake, no one is there to record the details, and experts can only guess at what happened.
Steve StocktonHOST
One such climber, Naomi Uemura, a famous Japanese adventurer and mountain climber, decided to attempt a solo winter ascent of Denali in 1984.
Steve StocktonHOST
Uemura had already successfully summited Denali on his own when he wanted to try a more challenging climb in the winter.
Steve StocktonHOST
He made it to the top on February 13th, 1984, but something happened on his descent and he never returned to base camp.
Francis TaponHOST
I remember this one guy we may have mentioned before.
Francis TaponHOST
He's a Japanese guy.
Francis TaponHOST
I don't remember off the top of my head, but I believe it was around 1980 or so.
Francis TaponHOST
He was the first person to climb up in winter Mount McKinley or Denali, and he made it to the summit, but he didn't make it back down.

Especially if you are bivvying.
Jost KobuschGUEST
If you keep moving, if you can climb, it can be fine.

For example, when I climbed Denali, the summit that you talked about where Naomi Uemura was lost on a descent.
