Greetings Team 4!
Quino, it was so enjoyable to hear your lovely (yes, "lovely" - get over it hard-men!) voice, and the news from Camp 1. Please tell the lead guide that his girlfriend loves him too, even if he was just slacking off, probably eating bonbons and drinking coffee, rather than "putting up some anchors."
Sounds like the weather's holding, Chef Chad's spoiling you all, and life, despite the cold (it's Chateau Denali after all), is good! Great news!
BTW - Teams 1 & 2 reaped the High One's blessings and killed it! Carry on gentlemen! God speed & God bless you all!
Love & can't wait to hear from you Super P!
P.S. Snow expected in JH today - Julie and I had dinner last night - looking 4 a window 2 take our skis & gumboots up the tram for a little indulgent backside high country powder explore, punished by heinous slog out of the bowels of Granite Canyon! Never summer! Yippee!
Hi James,
Thanks for the message relayed by Paul. Very proud of you. Hope you packed the tricolour for the summit! If there's any sun over there, bring it back to Ireland - our summer is long overdue! Take care and enjoy. See you in July. Slán agus ádh mór! Lots of love, Caitríona and Darren xxx
Good job Darling! Its so good to hear your voice! Keep on heading up! You'll be happy to know Capain had 11 teeth pulled yesterday so her breath will smell like roses when you get home. I love you and Thanks for talking! Jamie
Hey P -
Hoped to hear from you re Team 4's progress today - wishing you all safe & well. Tina said she saw you on her way down with Team 2. She says she doesn't want to see a sled again for a long time ~ can't imagine why. :)
Whitney says hi. She returned from her San Jauns sailing trip with many happy stories - she loves Seattle!
More news later. Look forward to your call...
Love you so Paul. Jeanne
Hi Dom - glad to hear of your progress. Did you find your card? A whole week and Joy's not broken anything (yet!) Good luck for a safe ascent - and keep warm! Love Jane xxx
