Hello everyone, this is Matt Walker and Mike Roberts with team vegeMIGHT. We are currently sitting at 14,000' camp and packing up our stuff and starting to head down. We had a (unintelligible) yesterday, little bit of high winds but not too bad, moving from 17.2 down here to 14. Beautiful climb of the exposed ridge, and great, great views.

"...we will be moving down to 7,800' on our way to Kahiltna Base Camp..."

So, today, we took a leisurely breakfast and lunch and we're going to take our time getting out of here. A little bit of snow, a little bit of low visibility, and we will be moving down to 7,800' on our way to Kahiltna Base Camp. So we expect to be there tomorrow, sometime around 8am or 9am, and then if the weather bodes well, we're going to fly out of here as soon as possible.

So, next time you hear from us will probably be from Talkeetna. Cheers.
