CLICK TO HEAR THE CALL: 
Hey Mountain Zone, this is Pete Athans calling you on I believe the 25th of April. We have just been joined by Chris Metcalfe, Matt Lau, and David Mencin, and we're kind of flipping out on technology here a little bit. I'm talking to you on our Motorola Satellite Series telephone, and I'm hearing you incredibly well or at least heard everyone there on the message very, very well.

Motorola Technology We're down here resting for a couple of days. And we'll be getting ready for our summit attempt and checking, not only our communications technology, but also our oxygen gear and down suits and everything else that's come from The North Face to make everything possible here.

So thank you very much. Great to talk with you all again. Thanks a lot for letting us be part of your lives, and we'll be talking to you really soon. This is Pete Athans from Everest Base Camp.

—Pete Athans, Expedition Leader
