For the better part of January, mountaineering aficionados kept an eye on the progress of Minnesota climber Lonnie Dupre who tried to summit Mount McKinley solo and set out to do so on January 7. But Mother Nature in form of 100 mph winds forced Dupre’s retreat and he decided today to retreat to basecamp. Diana Haecker spoke with Dupre and has this report.

Don’t know if Lonnie will read this, but it was sure fascinating following his attempt to be the first person to solo climb Denali in January. I really enjoyed his blog, and appreciate this recap interview!
