Everest 2003: Angelo d'Arrigo | |||
 | |||
|
Another one of the many climbers on Everest this year was Angelo d'Arrigo. He is working on his "Over Everest Project 1° Step". He told EverestNews.com, "Three weeks ago I was on the Everest North Face, I have finished my climb at third camp, when, if you remember in this period the wind is terrible and almost all tents flew in this storm!.. My paraglider stayed inside my tent and all disappeared in large ice crack. I returned in ABC, two days later my sherpa Ang Dawa and Peter , a member of another expedition found my paraglider with some damage on sail and it was not possible to fly. This first step is integrated in my project on Everest and check wind conditions around and above Everest. Now I have finished the planning on "Over Everest" (two years of work) and I'm ready to fly in the next autumn with hang glider. We look forward to seeing Angelo d'Arrigo back on Everest....
