Hello cyberland, this is Dave Bangert with team Das Boots. It's the 11th of June, I need to fill you in on what's been happening the last couple days.

We moved up to 17.2 yesterday. One of our team members, Dennis Burns, decided at the fixed lines it was prudent to turn around. Brennan, my fellow guide, and Jeff, one of our other climbers, escorted him down to 14 camp where he ended up heading out last night about 8 o'clock with Alaska Mountaineering School Senior Guide Jim Williams. So he should be down at base camp by now.

Brennan ended up coming up today with Jeff. The rest of us were at 17.2 resting for our hopeful summit bid tomorrow. The weather is not great, but tomorrow looks like one of our best bets so we're going to try and rally the troops and try and make the summit.

We'll give you a call on our progress as we make our way up the mountain. Hope everyone is thinking of us, giving their good wishes and hopefully we'll have a good successful summit and get everybody heading back home.

Hope everyone's well out there and we'll be talking to you guys all tomorrow. Good night.
