Simone
Moro Everest/Cho Oyu 2002 Expedition |
 |
Hello
my friends, as you can see I am sending daily
reports. I hope our efforts will keep you
interested. I am sending you a picture of Franco
Nicolini, who arrived yesterday at base camp with Mirco
Mezzanotte. As you all know, they are the runner-up of
the European Skiing Championship and they are about to
speed climb Cho Oyu. My speed is also
"dangerous"...
Today
the weather is bad, and last night the wind was very
strong. Almost everybody is at BC while others rested
at camps higher on the mountain. As far as my plans
are concerned, I am
thinking of climbing up high tomorrow and then to come back
the same night to BC to avoid consuming precious
energies at the other temporary camps. I will have to
carry a tent from C1 to C2 in order to have a point of
support in case of necessity. I think that after
tomorrow (weather permitting) I will
try my real climb for the summit. I have a little of
dry cough with a low voice, but everything seems to be
in control. No need of medicines for now. All the
other members are fine, and they will climb in the
next days to sleep at C1. That's all for today.
Ciao ,
Simone Moro
