He reached a deserted cabin, barred the wolves inside with an improvised door, climbed to the rafters, and after hours of danger with his axe and wit, was rescued by his kin who shot and killed the pack. Twenty five wolves lay dead the next day and the skater boasted a remarkable final ten miles in thirty minutes.
