Maj. Gary McDonald, commandant of the U.S. Army Alaska Northern Warfare Training Center inspects his harness and climbing equipment May 17 in preparation for his team climb up Mount McKinley. Additional protective covering for the exposed skin, like the cloth covering shown here is vital as refl ected solar radiation from the ice and snow can more than double a person’s UV exposure on the glacier.
