Hey MountainZone watchers, this is Eric Larson with Alpine Ascents 11, the Good, the Bad, the Ugly. It's July 5th, about 8:30 at night, we're calling you from 14,200' camp still. The weather's been pretty ugly: high winds, up to 50 miles an hour and about five to seven feet of snow falling on us the past four days. And we're just building walls and doing a lot of shoveling.

					"...hi to my boys again, who are at a beach in South Carolina and it's probably 95 degrees..."

Not much else is going on. The weather forecast does not look promising; looks like more of the same, high winds and lots of snow. So we're just going to sit here and ride it out, and wait for our window. Here's some people that want to say hi probably.

Hey everyone, this is Clay, just saying hello. I hope you had a great 4th of July. We're having fun digging lots of trenches and huffing blocks around. So we'll hopefully be moving sometime soon, up or down. Either way, it'll be fun. Bye.

Hi MountainZone, this is Robyn, and I just want to say hi to my boys again, who are at a beach in South Carolina and it's probably 95 degrees. I love you. Bye.

(Eric) Alright, we'll get back to you later with some more reports. Bye.
