Hello everybody, this is Forrest McCarthy calling in for the Magnificent Seven.

We have now made it up to camp 14 and set up a really beautiful camp and we're looking forward to spending four days here, at least, and resting up and acclimatizing and getting ready for our big summit bid day here in the future.

Cathy did head down and is very much missed. She decided this wasn't the year for her, but her spirit is still with us so we're going to stay as the Magnificent Seven because her spirit is still with us.

So that's all for now, this is the Magnificent Seven signing out.
