Moro Everest/Cho Oyu 2002 Expedition |
 |
Hello
everybody, I am back with the computer after yesterday's
"race". If it wasn't for myself registering
my ascent with the GPS, I couldn't believe what I have
done. My ascent was very fast, especially considering
the lack of acclimatization. There are 12 expeditions
at ABC, but the technical level did not impress me,
except for the 3 Russians who are funny and very nice.
I am becoming everybody's friend. The members of my
expedition are down a little with the typical symptoms
of high altitude. Today Valter and Sandro Vidi went to
walk on the glacier. I think we will have to wait 3-4
more days before they could depart for C1. Anyways,
nothing to worry about. Omar Oprandi, Franco Nicolini
and Mirco Mezzanotte should be arriving at base camp
in mid week. I hope the days spent at base camp put
them in good shape. As far as myself, I am thinking to
climb tomorrow or the next day so I could reach 7600
meters and then get ready for the final assault. The
weather is not good, it's not snowing but it is
cloudy. I saw this storm yesterday when I was at a
higher elevation, that is why I decided to descend. I
have send you some pictures and I hope you will
appreciate the work we are doing.
Ciao!
Simone Moro
