Hey this is Erik Barnes again with the Dozy Bonkers, team 4 just doing another update on our progress. The carry to 16.2 went exceptionally well. The team is continuing on its strong physical and mental trend; they're definitely exceptionally strong, both physically and technically.

The marginal weather that has plagued us since base camp is now one of our primary concerns. The forecasted winds for the next two days range from 50-70mph at 17,000. This morning showed the winds increasing on the ridge and a forming lenticular on the summit. So we've been seeing some nice kind of wind scarring and just some good breezes going on all around us.

We're always committed to a safe climb. The team took another rest day at 14.2 and fortified the camp for the impending front moving in. We've started building our Great Wall of China [laughs]. The weather conditions for tomorrow do not look favorable, unfortunately, but the decision to move will be made in the morning. So hopefully we'll see what happens, but, unfortunately, I think the weather conditions may keep us where we're at.

But, besides that, all is well and I have some personal messages to pass on here. Tom says, 'hi gang, the weather is certainly giving us a Denali experience. Last night our temp dropped to 11 Celsius below zero, it's sure nice to have warm gear. We are holding at camp 4, waiting to move to camp 5, we already carried to above the fixed lines.' And I have to say that Tom did exceptionally well there, too. 'And the lucky lizard is keeping watch over us so don't worry about us. The weather forecast is marginal, but we are doing well. And I guess all the kids got out of school, so the school should be out. have a great summer vacation and I'm looking forward to a hot bike trip.' And he has definitely been talking about that bike trip and it sounds awesome.

Pete passes on a message, 'Joanne, Hugh, Robbie and Elise, we are waiting at camp 4 for the weather to improve some more. We all feel good. Hugh, best wishes for summer camp I will email you when I come off the hill next week.

Shane says, 'just want to send my love and thoughts to Jolene, I will see you in about a week!! Always want to say hello to the Smith family and extended families, your prayers are making a difference. Hello to mom, dad, and friends who are reading this.

Rodrigo is passing on a message, 'I want to tell you Susie, that I love you very much and I can't wait to feel your warm naked body next to mine. A big hello to mom, Gaby, Becky and the kids and also hi to everyone at Round Lake from 14.2, feeling good.

And that's the Dozy Bonkers out and we'll talk to you later.
