After reaching a high point of over 17-thousand feet, Arctic Explorer Lonnie Dupre abandoned his goal of summiting Denali Alone in January.
According to Dupre’s base camp coordinator Stevie Plummer, Dupre encountered tough snow that made building an ice cave difficult, and after a long climb to reach 17-thousand feet, he spent a night at temperatures of thirty-five below just keeping warm instead of getting rest.As of 10 am monday morning, Dupre had yet to descend as far as 11-thousand feet, where he left his skis.
