Hey MountainZone watchers, this is Eric Larson with Alpine Ascents 6 expedition J and the Generators. It's June 7th [sic], I believe, it's our eighth day on the mountain. We're at 14,200-foot camp, we have about 30 mile-an-hour winds, about six inches of fresh snow. This storm should last, they're saying, about two or three days.

" So we're going to ride this storm out, see how it goes and we'll keep you informed on what's going on...."

Everybody is doing well. They're snug in their tents, hanging out reading. It doesn't look like we'll be able to do our carry tomorrow. We weren't able to go out to the edge of the world either.

So we're going to ride this storm out, see how it goes and we'll keep you informed on what's going on. This is Alpine Ascents 6 expedition out.
