In the summer of 2005, 12 guys from Michigan set out to fish Halibut in Seward Alaska, and to visit other areas of Alaska, including Denali National Park.
If you ever visit Seward Alaska, on of the few places in America to experience a massive tidal wave, you must give Mt. Marathon a try.
Warning! This hike may kick your butt on a warm day. Bring plenty of water. If you run out, hopefully somebody will be nice to yah! On the plus side, it turns out
to be a nice getaway if you are traveling in a large pack.
During my first attempt with a few of my mates from our crew, I got hit in the head by a softball size rock trying to ascend on the side that requires a little bit of skill. I took a break and then proceeded to go up the jeep trail---located off of a side street. Many hours later, having to borrow some water from the top from a nice gal who took it from one of the streams fed by the melting snowpack, I made it up.
The older gents in the group were filming me from the RV camp form below. They caught me in a "Rocky" pose with arms raised, after I reaced the top.
Cheers!
