Update
5/15/2002: Hello Friends as promised the first
message with photo from the advanced field base of
the Everest. I and Mario Curnis find ourselves at 6409
meters on the north side of Everest. The yak arrived
about noon and all the materials have arrived. I have
then prepared and divided the alpine material that
tomorrow Sherpa Ang Mingma will carry to the hill
north to 7000 meters. Mario
Curnis will
only carry his sleeping bag and stay the night to
acclimatize. The usual distance is covered in two
full days but we have intentions to make it in one
day .... The alcohol that the Russians have offered
to us before the long walk has caused Mario to tire.
Tomorrow I will send you another message and for
the moment that is all. Best, Simone
