Hello Mountain Zone and cybercast enthusiasts, this is Eric Remza of the Upward Dogs, Alpine Ascents International.

We had an awesome summit yesterday. We're really happy about that. We got up, got out of camp, leaving around 9 and... about, let's see about 7 o'clock and back to camp around 11, so it's about a 14-hour day.

We were able to get everyone to the summit except Darryl Pennington, but Darryl did not go with us, he ended up staying back at camp. He didn't feel up to par, but he was definitely in our hearts when we were up there. But we were able to get everyone up to the summit and it was a great day for a summit and that's about it.

We are heading down now to our 11,000-foot camp and then we will be out to Talkeetna for burgers and beer tomorrow. So that's about it for right now. I'll keep you updated again. We are off the summit, everyone did really well and we're looking forward to getting back down.

Take care. Bye.
