Hey Mountain Zone, this is Jake Norton and Moss Patterson from the Cordillera Blanca Expedition — ski expedition. It is 10 o'clock in the morning and we're sitting up here at damn near 20,000 feet on the top of Nevado Toqllaraju in the Cordillera Blanca. Whoohoo!

The weather's sweet up here and looking really nice. We're having a great time, and me and Moss are sitting up here, the other guys are down below getting some shots of the skiing and we're going to join them in a few. Things are going great and we'll be back down soon here. I'm going to put Moss on.

Moss Patterson
Good morning Mountain Zone, you guys should see the view that we've got from up here: gorgeous, snowy peaks everywhere, blue sky. We're just hoping that the clouds don't roll in too soon so we can get some more shots on the way down. Pretty much just totally stoaked to be here, it's an amazing place to be. If you ever get a chance to come here, you've got to do it. Right on, peace out.

Jake Norton
Alright, Cordillera Blanca team signing out, time to go down.
