“Hi This is Chantel for Team 7. We’re calling from Camp 1. We left Base Camp at about 4 am this morning and had really good travel conditions on the lower glacier. It got really cold! We’re planning to do a single carry tomorrow. Denis would like to tell his wife and kids ‘Hello and I love you’. Ok, that’s it for now. I hope you’re all doing well and I’ll call later.”

This is a transcription for Denis's wife: "Thanks AAI for the update blog; it's a really good way for us back home to keep updated with how our loved ones are going. Go team 7 – better later than never! Take care to you all but the love that is being sent from me is only for Denis. Heaps of kisses and hugs to keep you warm, from the wife and kids."
