From the Minneapolis Star Tribune: Extreme cold has thwarted a Minnesota climber's third attempt to become the first person to summit Alaska's Mount McKinley solo in the dead of winter.
The Anchorage Daily News ( http://is.gd/liWrCn) says 51-year-old Lonnie Dupre told his support crew early Sunday that it was 35 below zero in a snow cave he had built at the 17,200-foot level of the 20,320-foot mountain, North America's tallest peak.
His support crew says Dupre is making his way down and will proceed as the weather permits.
Dupre — of grand Marais, Minn. — also failed in his winter attempts to summit McKinley last year and in 2011.
Only two people have completed a McKinley summit in the dead of winter — December or January — but no one has done it alone. http://www.startribune.com/local/188612581.html
Just think, if global warming was real, then this guy wouldn't have any problems climbing Mt. McKinley.
But then global warming is a hoax brought on by Al Gore and others to make millions, if not billions of dollars.
