Hi, this is Mike Roberts and Matt Walker for Alpine Ascents Denali 9, team vegeMIGHT. Just a brief update to let you know that we've arrived safely at camp 14,000', Camp III for us. The trip down went smoothly. We were a little slow departing, and we are now just enjoying the remainder of the evening light, having a leisurely meal.
"...we want to travel in the Kahiltna when it's frozen and the crevasse bridges are in a safer condition..."

The plan is tomorrow to head down to the airstrip but not leaving until mid-afternoon. Mid to late afternoon actually. The reason being we want to travel in the Kahiltna when it's frozen and the crevasse bridges are in a safer condition. So we'll give you a quick update before we leave tomorrow, but all going well we will be back in Talkeetna Tuesday afternoon.

So that's all for now. Talk at you tomorrow. Cheers, Mike.
