Lonnie called late yesterday evening after a long day of taxiing gear up to 16k.
He started another EPIC day on Denali early in the AM with a few EPIC bars, oatmeal and hot tea for breakfast at 14.2K. From his current camp(14,200ft) he heads up the fixed lines at the base of the headwall. He then carried his gear up to 16,000ft burying a cache the he will pick up on his way to high camp, 17,200ft.
Today Lonnie plans to take a rest day and study weather patterns for when he will make the next big push on Denali heading up to 17.2K camp from where he is now, back at 14.2K.
