Hi, this is Mike Roberts for Alpine Ascents Denali 9. We have now reached the summit, and I pass on my congratulations to Matt, John, Walt, Xavier and Don. Everybody's up here at this present point in time, everybody's feeling well, and feeling like we've reached the final goal of this trip, which of course is to get down safely.

The weather has been fantastic, couldn't be better. We've got a slight breeze on the top and literally for most of the way up it was perfectly calm. As we look down at the view to the south there's just mountains and mountains everywhere of the Alaska Range, with glaciers also.

There is absolutely no cloud up above us, and below us there is quite a bit of clouds between the peaks and to the north side of Denali National Park. We'll keep this message quite brief, but we'll let you know when we get back down safely, and believe me, that's our priority.

Thoughts are definitely going out at this time to families and loved ones. We will bypass on the personal messages, just to expedite the process, but everybody up here is thinking of family and loved ones. Cheers for now, Mike.
