Scott Darsney with Alpine Ascents. Guess where we are? We're at 19,200ft at the top of the Messner Couloir. I didn't call you guys at the top of the Pass because it was blowing pretty blustery there. I'd say it was 50-60 knots.
We're taking a break here. We're probably an hour from the Football Field and probably three hours from the summit. So hopefully, we'll do it here. It's kind of not the best day; it's clear, but pretty windy. We'll give you a call, so I can give you an update, at least from the summit. We're all together—all seven of us still—and we're doing well.
This is Scott Darsney and Bill McCormick from the Alpine Ascents International and the Mountain Zone, see ya.
