The Canada-U.S. expedition, which took 65 days to approach the peak from the town of McCarthy (Yukon) was successful in that none of the team of climbers died or were injured.
The team's leader was Albert McCarthy and was accompanied by Allen Carpe, Andy Taylor, H.F. Lambert, Norman H. Read and W.W. Foster.
