Hear the Satellite Call from Greenland

Hey Mountain Zone, it's Todd. We're at base camp right now. It's our last day, and we decided that we would take in some rest. It's getting really, really warm and some rocks have fallen off the side of the hills, so we decided to just take it easy today and fly out tomorrow. Six good peaks have been climbed and everybody's psyched; we're just relaxing, cleaning up our gear and getting ready to fly home. It's been a fantastic trip and hopefully the plane will arrive tomorrow — it should, the weather is fantastic — and we'll give you a call from Reykjavik. Hope everybody's well and we'll talk to you in America or Iceland. Bye.
