Greeting earthlings, this is Forrest McCarthy reporting in for the Magnificent Seven.

We made it up to camp 11 yesterday, it was kind of a big day, real steep, but at least snow was deep. We enjoyed a really nice kind of a rest day. We had a big breakfast.

Conditions on the mountain — it is calm, we've had a beautiful day today, sunny and no wind which is a welcome change. It's been kind of cloudy and snowing since we arrived, five or six days ago now.

" Reports are that it's pretty snowy at 14, but the weather looks beautiful today so we're wishing all the best for all our expeditions..."

There's about three feet of new snow at 11 and a fog. Reports are that it's pretty snowy at 14, but the weather looks beautiful today so we're wishing all the best for all our expeditions that are up high on the mountain.

And that's all for now, this is Magnificent Seven. Cheers.
