FAT – The First Ascent Team and gear looks great! Glad to see you are keeping warm. Patience. wait for your weather window and have fun! I know this is #11 for you and that is just awesome. Be safe up there. Great job on the dispatches, they are awesome. It would be good to get some more technical stuff on clipping in, what gear you bring up, how much you eat and drink etc.

Glad you and team made it back down to Base Camp safely, Dave. Way cool that you had a little tag-team action, meeting up with Peter, Ed, and Melissa. Get plenty of rest and I’ll pray for more great climbing weather for you guys. I can’t wait to get my hands on one of those FA tents.
p.s. Love the cool First Ascent ball caps you and Ed have been wearing. WANT ONE REAL BAD!! Please put the word out that everyone should have one, when you get back home safe.

Dave, I particularly enjoyed the comfort station demo and discussion and will write a note to Neil Fiske as soon as I’m done with this one that it could be a great viral marketing feature on the web. Also, you might think that suit has limited uses, but my wife, who tends to get cold below, say, about 50 degrees, thinks it might be perfect for winter attire around our toney suburb here in Boston. Good luck and it looks like you’re doing a good job with Erica – - I’ll send my kids to you when they are old enough.
