Hey this is Eric Larson, Alpine Ascents 6, calling you from the summit of Denali. It's roughly 5:30ish (6:30 PST) on the 13th. Tomorrow's my birthday, yahoo!

Everybody made it: Doug, Marshall, Peggy, Jeff, Todd, Jay and myself. We're all on the summit together; we had a beautiful climb. I've never seen it so clear in my life up here.

We did it in about seven hours....getting down and we'll get back to you guys maybe at 17 tomorrow morning and let everyone give you their reactions of how they felt on the summit.

This is Alpine Ascents 6 out. This is Eric Larson, we'll get back to you. Bye.
