Hey, this is Jesse Williams with Alpine Ascents Denali trip #7, the Magnificent Seven.

We're rounding out a great rest day here at 14. We strolled over to the Edge of the World and we're perched on a rocky outcrop looking down thousands of feet below to the Valley of Death named for the crevasses and the hanging glaciers that loom above it.

It's a beautiful day and everybody's doing well. If all goes as planned and the weather is good, tomorrow we'll move up to high camp and go from there.

I'm going to pass the phone around and a couple people are going to say a quick hello. Hi this is Ben and I'm having a great time so far. I'm hearing really sporadic reports of the World Cup so I have no idea how England is doing....sometimes wish I was in the pub with a beer in hand watching. I'm having a great time and am looking forward to going to the summit over the next couple days.

Hi this is Jeff, we have beautiful views up here at 14,000 feet, lovely view of Foraker. Hi this is Damon, I want to wish a Happy Father's Day to my dad and my daughter, Zoe. I miss Zoe and Anya, my wife, very much. A special thanks to all my friends who helped me train: Matt, Diane, Michelle, Al, Lee, Ben and Ethel and go Xbox live.

Okay, so that's going to be it for us. Thanks to everyone for their support and we miss and love our friends and family. We'll be checking back in hopefully tomorrow from high camp.
