URGENT CALL TO REPENTANCE: All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord. And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee. For the Kingdom is the Lord’s and He rules among the nations. (Psalm 22:27-28)
Talkeetna Air Taxi officials said Dupre had landed in Talkeetna at about 1 p.m.
In
a photo from the flight posted on Dupre’s Facebook page at about 12:45
p.m., he cracks a grin at the camera, with a beer in his hand.
“In air (en) route back to Talkeetna!” Dupre wrote.
Dupre
realized his dream of a winter solo ascent on North America’s highest
peak Sunday afternoon, during his fourth annual attempt to summit the
20,320-foot peak. The 53-year-old Minnesotan was delayed on his descent by poor weather, however, with Talkeetna Air Taxi flights beginning attempts to reach him when he came down to an altitude of 11,000 feet.

I give him a lot of credit - he did what he dreamed about. How many of us haven't?
Strangely enough, Chickenmom, I've never once heard someone on their deathbed say "I wish I'd spent more time at the office."
Wow! Some people are made of very different stuff.
Cathy, hundreds of people attempt Denali every year ... and some of them make it.
Mr. Dupre just raised the bar.
