It would be nice to have an actual source on the claim about not having an apostrophe---I'm not trying to be skeptical, and certainly on the map it appears without an apostrophe, but "by tradition" is a little vague. I guess I'd be happy quoting the USGS as a source, but is there a better one? If the apostrophe really is inappropriate we should eventually move the article and make the apostrophe version a redirect. But I don't think it's a big deal. -- Spireguy 03:06, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I moved it and removed the "by tradition" diddy. I couldn't find a source to back it up...Jarfingle 03:17, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the death figure, I could only find three deaths, one party of two and one other single person. This is info from the AAJ. What is the source for the "three parties"? -- Spireguy 03:06, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

climbing history -- into the wild

as written now, the section makes it sounds like McCandless climbed Devil's Thumb, which is incorrect. The section about Krakauer's chapters could be struck and replaced with a link to the Into_The_Wild 65.46.169.246 (talk) 20:15, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
