Hi MountainZone in cyberland enthusiasts, this is Eric Remza of Alpine Ascents International and the Upward Dogs. I am doing a resend on the cybercast for yesterday, the 18th.

We did move up to 14. We are all dug in; we have our tents up, posh house up, walls built and we're pretty set up here for a nice acclimatization period. We're doing a full rest day today, the 19th. And we will be doing a day hike over to the Northeast Fork, up above the Northeast Fork, what is known as the edge of the world. But, other than that, we will be coming back here to camp. We'll be doing some fixed rope practice and just taking it easy.

"...little headaches last night but everyone seems to be on the same page and seems to be acclimatizing now..."

Everyone is doing great; little headaches last night but everyone seems to be on the same page and seems to be acclimatizing now.

So that's about it for right now, I will give another update tonight, the 19th and that's it from our 14,000-foot camp on Denali. Bye.
