"Weather and Summit Success on Denali" by Dr. Linus Wilson Ep. 22 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Abstract In this paper, we look at the daily weather data on the highest peak of North America to predict daily summit success rates. Denali (also known as Mt. McKinley) is 6,190 meters high or 20,310 feet. This is the first study to analyze daily weather to predict daily summit success. Higher temperatures and lower wind speeds at 14,200-foot camp, the highest weather station on the mountain during the period studied, 2015-2023, are associated with significantly higher summit rates.

"The Seasonality of Climbing Mt. McKinley (Denali)" by Dr. Linus Wilson Ep. 21 (opens the original)

McKinley climbing season of late April to late July. Since climbs are typically 17-to-21 days round trip with a 15-to-18-day ascent, the highest chance of summitting will be for climbers arriving on the mountain in the last two weeks of May to the first two weeks of June.
