Lonnie Dupre Flys to Kahiltna Glacier for Summit of Denali

Lonnie Dupre, mountain climber and Arctic explorer, made progress today in his 3rd attempt to become the first person to summit the highest peak in North America solo in January.

After weather delays over the weekend, today Dupre was finally able to fly to Kahiltna Glacier, which rests at the base of the mountain.

He's carrying about 34 days' worth of supplies.

Dupre attempted to climb the mountain alone the last two winters and got pretty close to the peak, reaching 17, 200 feet.

He was later forced to descend after bad weather trapped him in a snow cave for several days.
