Hello folks out ther in cyberland, this is Forrest McCarthy callin' in for the Magnificent 7.

We're still hunkered down here at camp 14,200'. We've been here for 5 nights. The last few days we've been having some pretty stormy weather. It's been snowing quite a bit. We've probably gotten about 3' of fresh snow here in the last 48 hours. Report has it up at 17,200' they got even more--there's about 5' of fresh snow up at the camp at 17,200. There's been high winds and we've been getting the full Denali mountain experience.

Our weather's a lot better today, less wind, we're hoping to be able to move up to 17,200' tomorrow. We've got our cache still up there and we're just ready to move, everybody's pretty excited to get up there, sounds like the weather is going to clear in the next 24 hours or so.

Mark is headed down today with Steffi. Those two are going to be headed down to Base Camp. Probably going to be there by tomorrow morning and then flying out to Talkeetna.

We're going to miss them greatly, uh, but their spirits will still be with us. So we are--even though there are only four of us, we're going to stay the Magnificent 7. And that's all for now. This is Forrest McCarthy signing off for the Magnificent 7.
