9:43 AM Alaska Time
Lonnie spent the night approximately 2.5 miles from base camp. He had several close calls yesterday while descending the lower glacier. The snow conditions had changed since his accent and he punched through a number of snow bridges across crevasses but was able to get himself out. I talked with him early this morning and his plan is to continue to Base Camp today. The weather looks promising for a air pickup today. He is looking forward to a hot shower, a green salad and glass of red wine.
This a picture from yesterday of the Ladder and his sled.
