This is Vern, we're at 16,000 at the Raven Nest. We're looking out over a beautiful sea of clouds with Hunter and Foraker just peeking through. We'll be talking to you in the future; I just got the phone from Wally, bye-bye for now. Here's Wally...
Mountain Zone, I'll be signing off for Alpine Ascents One, now. Vern's got the phone, got a good looking crew—who's, who's this...Rob, or Ross and Michelle. They're just goggles today; pretty cold day up here, but they look ready.
Our team's on our way down now, happy to hand the phone off to Vern. A little disappointed about the peak, but this mountain just didn't want us to get it this time. We were up there giving it our best, but time to head home now. So, Vern's got the phone. We're hoping to be out in two or three days. We'll call you from Talkeetna. And it sure is cold up here, but we're going to have a nice walk down. Take Care.
