First of all, I hope everyone up North is safe and sound!

Interesting on-going story about a climber stuck on Mount Logan after earthquakes triggered several avalanches on Monday and forced her to retreat down the mountain to a safer spot. Martinez is unharmed and has established a new camp as she awaits rescue, which is to be coordinated by Parks Canada, possibly on Friday.

"The trek was expected to take Martinez two weeks, but she packed an extra week’s worth of fuel and food in case of emergency. As the storm let up, she’s been able to prepare warm drinks," She's texting regularly, and if I read the details correctly, she started her climb 9 days ago, so should have about a week and half or so worth of food and fuel left. With a little luck, this should turn out better than the ill-fated journey of that couple in the Himalayas.
