Hey cyberland, this is Dave Bangert with team Das Boots. We're going to be passing the phone around here so everyone can say hello to friends and family. I'll pass it off to my co-guide here Brennan Brunner. Hey, I'm glad to start off, just for background we're here at 14,2k, made a final haul so all our gear's up here. We'll be taking a rest day off tomorrow to acclimatize. People are going to say hi to their friends and family.
