(Editor's Note: The first :30 of Dave Bangert's transmission was nearly completely unintelligible. From what we can gather, his rope group made a carry from the 11,200' camp around Windy Corner to 14,200' and were about to head back down. Below is the remainder of the call, which came in relatively clearly)
The weather here is just stellar, about as good as can be. We went around Windy Corner without a breath of wind and right now it's (unintelligible) in the 60's, pretty hard to beat. The other team will be doing a carry as soon as we're down to 11,2, so they'll be fighting the heat of the day. Hope everybody's doing well out there, we'll be calling from 14 tomorrow and we'll let everyone say hello to friends and family. Till then, later.
