Hey MountainZone watchers, this is Eric Larson of Alpine Ascents 11. We've figured a name out. They want to be called the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. We haven't figured out who's good or bad or ugly, but we'll get to that, we still have time.

					"...The forecast is saying another 6 to 12 (inches of snow) for tonight and another 6 to 12 for tomorrow. Tomorrow, we're going to be doing a rest day..."

Today is the first of July, and we did a carry up to 16.2, up the fixed lines, and it went pretty well, except it dumped about 6 inches of fresh snow at 14 camp here. The forecast is saying another 6 to 12 for tonight and another 6 to 12 for tomorrow. Tomorrow, we're going to be doing a rest day. Just eating a lot of food, drinking a lot of water, hanging out, playing cards.

So we should be strong enough off to get up to 16, and then up to 17 when the weather breaks. We'll wait for a window. And people want to say hi, so let me pass the phone...

Hi, this is Robyn, and I wanted to say hi to my kids again, Preston and Nolan. Mommy loves you. And we have a message from Charles to Dan and he says that he will be out in three days. I think he wants you to make him a plane reservation. And here is Zoltan.

Hey, Zoltan here saying hi to Helen. I miss you. Hope you're enjoying the summer back in England. To Shana, happy birthday. To Fiona, you're missing out here, but I hope the exam went well. To my Dad, I'm fine, of course. And to the guys in the office, keep working hard. Here's Clay.

Hey everyone, this is Clay. I'd like say hello to my Mom and Dad. Ned, Kerry, Derek, all other family and friends. Having a great time. Learned a couple of great card games, but I can't say their names over the Internet. Not, uh, legal. But anyway, we'll talk to you guys soon.

Hi this is Robyn again and I wanted to say hi to Jean, and tell her that we're eating too much up here. Although Eric and Dave are great cooks, we've been eating eggs and pancakes and bacon for breakfast and, I don't know what dinner is, rice and tasty bites and tuna wiggles, and here is Eric.

On another note, I'd just like to say that Kent and also Charles decided to pull the plug, and they're going down. They should be at Base Camp by tonight, so hopefully if the weather permits they'll be flying out to Talkeetna when it breaks in a day or two. So, sorry that they're splitting, hope they travel well and safe, and we'll get back to you guys with any other information.

This is Alpine Ascents 11, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, out.

So we'll get back to you soon. This is Eric Larson with Alpine Ascents, saying goodbye.
