Hey MountainZone, this is Dave Bangert with Alp 11, along with Eric Larson. Sorry we didn't make a cybercast yesterday, somebody inadvertently buried the cell phone in the cache. That might have been me.

Everybody's doing fine. Mark's got a bit of a cough, which is a little concerning, but we'll see how he does. Everybody else is doing fine, healthy. On my rope team I have Mark from South Africa, and I have Robin from North Carolina, and I have Clay from Boulder, Colorado. On Eric's team we've got Kent from New York, Zoltan from London via Australia, and Charles from Tampa, Florida.

Like I say, everyone is doing fine. They send their wishes to all their loved ones. And MountainZone, you're getting me in trouble, it's Char, C-H-A-R, not Dara (our apologies, Char and Dave, ed.).

Robin would like to say hi to her boys, so I'm going to pass her over right here. Hi, this is Robin. Preston and Nolan, I love you and I miss you.

(Dave) Yeah, boys, you're mom's doing fine. She's a good sport. She's putting up with us, so that says a lot.

We're going to be doing a carry to 13,5 tomorrow. Right now we're at Kahiltna Pass at 10,000', picking up our cache. We're going to be chillin' out at 11,2 today, a bit of a rest day, get everybody's fuel tanks tanked up and ready to go. And we'll be talking to you tomorrow from 13,5. See you later.
