Looks like Lonnie's attempting this again as I'm writing this. I hope he makes it this time!
I tried to find a good news outlet story to link, but honestly this blog entry on REI's website has the most information: http://findout.rei.com/blog_detail/?con ... 9835546145
Here's the thread from earlier this year on him: http://14ers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f= ... re#p340434" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Stewart Green's article on him from the first attempt: http://climbing.about.com/b/2011/01/28/ ... ttempt.htm

That is so rediculously awesome that he is even trying this again especially considering the temp and winds he may be facing the next few days http://www.mountain-forecast.com/peaks/ ... casts/6194" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks for alerting us to Lonnie's amazing alpine adventure, Terry! May the mountain smile upon him and grant him safe passage to the summit and back.

Just an update on Lonnie in case anyone was wondering. He was unsuccessful.
