Hi Mountain Zone watchers, this is Eric Larson with Alpine Ascents 6 expedition. This is June 11. We're at 17,200-foot camp right now, high camp. We climbed up the ridge in maybe 10-15 mile-an-hour winds, light snow.

Everybody's doing okay; everybody's really tired. We hope to take a day off tomorrow and summit the day after that, but the weather looks like it might shut down. They're calling for 20-40 mile-an-hour winds tomorrow and then 40-60 mile-an-hour winds for the next three or four days after that so we'll see what happens.

We've got seven days of food and fuel up here so we can ride out any bad weather, but you don't want to live in a hurricane so we'll make good decisions and we'll come down if the winds are getting too bad. That's just the way Denali [transmission fails].

Yep, so it's June 11 and we have a couple more days before we have to head back down so we'll see what we do. This is Eric Larson, out.
