Hey MountainZone, this is Eric Larson with Alpine Ascents 11, the Good, the Bad, the Ugly expedition. Today is Tuesday--what's the date--Tuesday the 9th of July. We're at 17,200' camp. Everybody did really well coming up the ridge yesterday. It was a tough pull. We had slight winds, around 10 mph, good conditions. But everybody made it just fine.

					"...we'll give you a call from the summit, or from the balcony, if we succeed or not..."

Tomorrow, we're looking at the forecast. It's saying 10 mph from the south for summit winds. So hopefully it will be nice. We'll be leaving around 10 o'clock in the morning, and we're expecting about a 12 hour round-trip, coming back to high camp.

We'll give you a call tomorrow from the summit, or from the balcony, if we succeed or not we'll give you a call. But everybody is fine, no worries there. And we'll give you a call tomorrow. This is Alpine Ascents 11, the Good, the Bad, the Ugly, out.
