Hi, this is Todd at 16,200 on Aconcagua, Camp I. We did a carry out today up to 19.2 — just below actually. We put a cache in and it was very high winds.

But it broke in the morning, so we carried up high and it was beautiful until we got up about 17.5 and started hitting some pretty high winds on the ridge. We're back at camp now. Al's group made a carry from Base Camp up to Camp I, so we met for a few minutes. All of their group is very healthy and they will...[transmission fails].
