Hi, this is Friday the 28th of June and this is Mike Roberts and Matt Walker for Alpine Ascents Denali 9. Yesterday evening about 8:30 team vegeMIGHT made it up to the 17,000' camp, which is our camp IV. Everybody was feeling pretty strong and doing well. We then spent a good solid couple of hours digging in our tents and by the time we got around to having dinner it was late.
"...we're resting, recuperating, making our plans..."

But this morning we've awoken to a beautiful day, folks are heading off to the summit. We're resting, recuperating, making our plans still and we'll update you as to what those are. At this stage it's to attempt the summit tomorrow.

Everybody sends their thoughts and love out to family and friends, and we'll give you an update as the situation unfolds up here. So that's all for now, Mike Roberts.
