This may be a dumb question (considering the name of the stove) but would this be my best bet for soloing (or climbing with one other person) Mt. McKinley?
Also, I didn't see the weight listed. Anyone know what that is?

First off, the stove weight is 11.5 oz. This is certainly up there in the top choices. A "true" multi-fuel stove that's made for severe environments. You're comps would be things like the MSR XGK-EX, and the Primus Omnifuel, both also being sturdy, reliable, efficient stoves that are made for the same conditions, but both weighing in about 1/4 lb more. Another secondary choice would be the MSR Dragonfly. The Denali more or less falls into a class that lots of people refer to as a snow melter/water boiler (hot and fast), more than a gourmet burner (precise simmer control). The latter being more suited to a choice between the Omnifuel or the Dragonfly. As for solo vs two or more; it's well suited to group cooking situations and bigger pots, but not so large and heavy as to make it awkward overkill for you alone with say a 2.5L pot for cooking and water. These stoves all burn very hot. If you're on snow, you'll definitely want to use a burner sheet of some kind to dissipate the heat and keep the stove from ending up in a pit. Hope that helped.
