Hey folks out there in cyberland, this is Forrest McCarthy calling in for the Magnificent Seven. We are enjoying this wonderful weather at Camp 14.

We've got a beautiful camp. The temperature reached a high of 40° yesterday and it looks like it's going to reach that again today. We did our carry today up to 16,200 feet on top of the fixed line and then we're hoping in the next couple days to take advantage of this good weather and move up to the high camp at 17,000 feet.

"Most of the climbing team is feeling strong. Mark has decided that he wants to head back down and have to come back to Denali another year..."

Most of the climbing team is feeling strong. Mark has decided that he wants to head back down and have to come back to Denali another year. Other than that, everybody is doing real well and we're going to stay as the Magnificent Seven as Cathy's spirit is still with us and Mark's will be as well. We'll be thinking about those guys all the way to the top.

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