January 21 - Day 15- Summit Attempt Tomorrow

January 21 - Day 15 -17,200 Camp
5:40 PM Alaska Time
I just got off the Sat phone with Lonnie about 1/2 hour ago.  The weather for tomorrow looks good, Lonnie is feeling good so its a go for the summit attempt tomorrow.  Lonnie is going to leave 17,200 camp at 6:00 AM tomorrow morning (January 22) and start his climb to the top of Denali.  He expects to reach the summit by early afternoon and then return to 17,200.  It would be great if everyone would send Lonnie all the positive energy they can.  May the raven be with you to the top.   UPWARD!

    I'm sorry, climbing the highest mountain in Alaska in January? Sounds pretty dumb to me.

    Thank you for making that point so I don't have to feel like I'm the buzzkill. 100 mph winds? Surprise, surprise. Who woulda thunk it? What an exercise in potentially lethal idiocy.
