Jon Krakauer Instagram – South Face of the Mooses Tooth, Denali National Park, Alaska. In July 1975, Tom Davies, Nate Zinsser, and I reached the summit of the Tooth via a new route up the narrow ice couloir visible near the center of the photo, which someone christened “Ham and Eggs” around the time the second ascent was completed 24 years later, in May 1999. Since then it has become a ridiculously popular climb, but I don’t think many people realize that I submitted the first ascent of Ham and Eggs as my senior thesis at Hampshire College, and it was actually accepted, allowing me to earn a bachelor of arts degree in January 1976. Hampshire was not your typical institution of higher education. | Posted on 01/Jan/2019 00:48:00
