Ciao
everybody!!
We
arrived yesterday to Tingri, Tibet. In these past
few days we speeded with all the formalities in
Kathmandu so that we could move towards Cho Oyu as
soon as possible. We are trying to move to base camp
as quickly as possible, so that we can start
acclimatizing. We would rather use our legs that a
truck to move around! The impact with the altitude,
4200 meters, has been good so far, considering that
some of our team members have a light headache. I
feel already acclimatized to this altitude thanks to
the short climbs of these past weeks at the Kala
Pattar and Island Peak. Tomorrow a jeep is taking us
to the Chinese base camp, which is only a few hours
away by car from Tingri. I will update you on the
conditions as soon as we can see the mountains
closer. It seems that winter is almost over, neither
too dry nor too snowy. We will spend two days
walking around the Chinese advanced base camp and we
will talk to you soon.
See you soon,
Simone
