Ines Papert / Luka Lindič
During their honeymoon to Alaska, on 26-27 April 2021 Ines Papert and Luka Lindič made the first ascent of Heart of Stone on the West face of Mount Huntington close to Denali. The duo had spied the line while repeating the Colton-Leach route (Nick Colton, Tim Leach, 1981) and after resting for a day climbed the 1000m mixed line past difficulties up to M7 with one bivy. Their success came about after having been totally shut down in the Revelation Mountains, featured in the second video below.
