Hey MountainZone, this is Eric Larson. We're sitting on top of North America, 20,321' I believe. It's about two o'clock in the afternoon on the 10th. Everybody did okay. It was a long day. We still have a lot to do, to get down.

"...we're going to take some quick snapshots...and head back home..."

Leading the team was Dave Bangert, putting all the pickets in across Denali pass. He did a great job. Behind him was Clay. Behind Clay was Robyn, then Zoltan and myself taking up the rear. I got the easy job for the day.

We're going to take some quick snapshots, we're in a cloud right now, so we have no views. We're going to head back down to the football field, where we left some equipment, and head back home. We'll give you an update maybe tomorrow morning, before we pack up from high camp and go down the fixed lines.

This is Eric Larson, Alpine Ascents Expedition 11, out.
