Among other things, Gardner also once shouldered his backpack in Calgary and skied 1,000km to Vancouver.īoth Logan and Denali require good physical preparation, climbing skills, and the strength to ski and hike while carrying all gear in low temperatures. They then climbed the mountain and skied out while circumnavigating the mountain. About 50 years ago, Canadian Rockies legend Don Gardner and his partner skied that route to the base of Mount Logan. Some have even towed a sled up the Kaskawulsh Glacier and over the world’s largest non-polar icefield for more than 100km to reach the start of the climb. There are no regular flights to the base of the mountain, although an affordable charter airline can fly in climbers on a half-hour Cessna flight. Technically, Mount Logan is not more difficult to climb than Denali but it is much more isolated. Denali Base Camp lies at 2,200m on the Kahiltna Glacier.
