Leaving Mount Logan

Posted By: Larry Larsen | Jun 7th, 2007 @ 5:28 PM

I caught up with James Coleridge via satellite phone about the latest from the top of Mount Logan in the Yukon. James tells me about some of the set backs that the team has been dealing with, including over two weeks of very bad storms and a plane crash (no one was hurt). We talk about what it means to use technology from remote locations under extreme conditions, and how he keeps his batteries warm at night.

The team won't be able to make the summit this time. Three hours after this interview was recorded, they made the (wise) decision to start back down the mountain and head home. We'll catch up with James again when he's back in town.
