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

We're still here at 14. The weather is getting slightly better. Rumor around camp is that it's going to clear tomorrow, and if so we'll be planning on moving to Camp 17.

We did go out for a hike today, just to acclimatize and...pack out the route up towards the fixed ropes, and we're hoping tomorrow we'll be able to move up there. Other than that, everybody's in good spirits, doing well and just waiting for the weather to improve.

Mike Roberts and Vern Tejas, Alpine Ascents expeditions 8 and 9, should be pulling into camp about any minute now.

And that's all for now. This is Forrest McCarthy at Camp 14. Cheers.
