In this path, the safety along the path has been installed. The climber secures himself by attaching a rope connected to his body on the karabiner on the track.

This path has thicker snow conditions compared to other stages. If the climber slips, chances are it will be difficult to save yourself by using an ice ax. Climbing is picked up around 1.5 to 2 hours from the last camp. The elevation increase is around 300 meters.

The climber must take a broad and sloping ridge but with a long path to get to the side of the Archdeacons Tower. From Denali Pass, climbing can take 2 to 2.5 hours. The elevation increase in this stage reached more than 300 meters.

The field trip will slightly decline down past the Football Field plain, a plain as wide as a football field. After that, the climbing terrain will turn slightly steep towards Summit Ridge. Climbing on this stage can take up to one hour.

Summit Ridge - Summit

At this last stage, climbers will follow the ridge with the right side which is very steep. When the weather is clear, climbers can see the view of Talkeetna City from this path. Climbing is done by using running belay techniques. This is a security system when walking. Each climber is connected with a rope, and each person will connect and release the rope when crossing the security that is already available or mounted on the climbing lane. This trip is around 20 to 40 minutes from Summit Ridge.

When the weather is sunny, the climbing movement towards Denali Peak can take around six hours. A break to eat or drink will take two to three hours, so the total travel time taken is around eight to nine hours of climbing. The trip down will take three to five hours, depending on the physical condition and climbing skills of each climber.
