9:44 AM Alaska Time
Lonnie had an extremely long day yeseterday gong from 14,200 Camp to 17,200 Camp. The winds were favorable and once Lonnie committed to the the days climb he knew it was going to be a long day. Late last night I got a call from Lonnie saying that he had reached 17,200 camp. Just a FYI, yesterday's GPS location on the map is a bit off so his real location is a bit farther up the mountain. Lonnie crossed the last half of the West Buttress Ridge by Head Lamp last night. The picture is of the West Buttress Ridge from last year's expedition. As you can see it is quite exposed and very steep. Lonnie will take a rest day today to acclimatize and get ready for the summit push. UPWARAD.
