Denali vs. Mt. McKinley

I climbed it in 1988 when it was McKinley. As I have more frozen skin in the game than Shitzhispants:

ITS DENALI.

BTW, I didn’t see many prototype MAGAS during my 23 days on this rugged mountain.

Same with Gulf of America. No one is going to use that.

My wife didn't even know it'd been changed to Denali until yesterday when it was changed back.


Absolutely no one is gonna use the Gulf of America moniker.

Didn’t climb it, but I was fortunate to have a very clear view all day. Our tour guide said we were in the 5%. It was the highlight of my trip, and it will always be DENALI. 🏔️
