Just a second, hello Mountain Zone this is Ellie calling from Base Camp. I'm trying to get through to Willi on the radio, we've got a little bit of a scratchy contact the team has reached the Balcony. I will try to put Willi on the radio, on the phone here, and see if we can get through. Okay, Willi, are you ready? Go ahead. Willi: Hello Mountain Zone, this is Willi reporting from 27,500 feet [Unintelligible] the Southeast Ridge of the mountain. Difficult conditions today, lots of deep snow, lots of trail breaking and there's also light snow sifting down. There's also a lot of clear sky above us [Unintelligible]... Ellie: Okay that is going through very well, do you want to continue? Willi: That's all for now. Ellie: Okay this is it; okay Mountain Zone, that's it from the mountain, sounds like things are going well, deep snow and cold, but still making progress. So we'll sign off for now. This is Ellie from Base Camp.
