Hey MountainZone and everyone out there in cyberland, this is Eric Remza and Forrest McCarthy of Alpine Ascents International and the Upward Dogs.

Today we had a pretty big day. We got a pretty good start this morning and went up the fixed lines and put a cache up above Washburn's Thumb. Everyone did really well. The weather was, well it was definitely blowing up high, but when we got up there it definitely died down for us which was really good. Put our cache in and made it back down the fixed lines and had a nice dinner. We had some tortellini that Forrest cooked which was excellent.

"...hopefully after our rest day tomorrow we will try to make our move up to 17...."

But now it's going to be a rest day tomorrow and we will give you an update as to what we do tomorrow and hopefully after our rest day tomorrow we will try to make our move up to 17. Until then, this is Eric Remza and Forrest McCarthy, take care and we'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye.
