Hello MountainZone and cyberland enthusiasts, this is Eric Remza of Alp 10 and Alpine Ascents' Da Fine Dieter. Things are going good, everyone is healthy and strong. We have had some really bad weather the last few days. It's been kind of a consistent daily activity (transmission breaks up), shoveling out our tents from all the spin drifts or snow, and building up our walls. And today was no exception.

We had probably about 60-80 mph winds, that's right, 60-80 mph winds, consistent winds, not just gusts. And we had to build up our walls in those conditions. Right now the winds have ceased, a little bit. It's probably down to about 20-30 mph. (Transmission breaks up) 14,000' camp is leveled. It almost looks like a war zone. Um, still no word from people up at 17.

We hear that there's going to be high pressure moving in, we (transmission breaks up) of that right now, but hopefully in the next few days we'll have more of a high pressure, but the winds still are going to be blowing us here.

Takin' it day by day, everybody's doing great. And that's about it. Take care. Bye.
