Hey, this is John Race with Alpine Ascents group #3, the name is Riding with Brakes On. It's Saturday, May 25, I'm calling at 8:45pm and we are spending our second night here at 14,200 feet.

Today we went and did our back carry, meaning we went back downhill and picked up the remainder of our cache at 13,500 feet. And our plan from here is to climb tomorrow to 16.2 and leave a cache and then take a rest day the following day.

The weather continues to be really good. I believe that Forrest and his crew are wrapping up a summit attempt right now I haven't heard how that turned out and the other group at 17 with Dave is hoping to make an attempt tomorrow and we're going to talk to him in the morning.

Everybody's doing well, spirits are high. [inaudible] little bit more official....so we're all doing great and we will take to you soon. This is John getting out of here. Bye.
