Hey MountainZoners, Matt Szundy and Eric Remza calling in from the edge of the world at 14.2 with team Da Fine Dieter right here. Say hi everybody (lots of background shouting and general merriment). Alright, there's a "Go Sox" in there from Jim.

"...we are enjoying some beautiful views here from the edge of the world, looking down on the Valley of Death and the Riblet and the lower West Rib..."

Yeah, we are enjoying some beautiful views here from the edge of the world, looking down on the Valley of Death and the Riblet and the lower West Rib. And we can see the entire upper mountain, um, beautiful day today compared to what we've been experiencing up here. Everyone's in really good spirits.

This evening, Eric and I might go up the headwall and check out conditions up there and go get our cache. And that's our plan for today. So we'll touch base with you as soon as we know what else we're doing up here on the mountain. But at this point, all this new snow and they're calling for higher winds this weekend as well, so we'll definitely touch base with you and let you know what we're doing.

Anything to add, Eric? (Eric) No, that's about it. (Matt) Alright. Anybody want to add anything? Alright, for now this is team Alp 10, team Da Fine Dieter from the edge of the world. Take care.
