Simone Moro attempts Nanga Parbat (8125 meters), K2 (8611 meters) and Broad Peak (8047 meters) all in two months!

Dispatch Five: The nice story about Nanga Parbat with sun and blue sky finished... It should be wonderful if the sun will continue to shine but the reality in the Himalaya and Karakorum it is different.

Oscar and Inaki

Last night we get snowfall and wind and it continued also this morning. Since few hours the snowfall stopped and clouds are covering Nanga Parbat and the valley. Our member of Kazakhstan spent the night at 6500 meters and fixed rope till that place and  they came back to BC. Tomorrow will be a rest day ( also with good weather) so the sun will melt the snow and avalanches will come down from the diamir face. The next plan for us will be to reach camp 2 and over 7000 meters and come back. After this step we will organize a strategy for the summit. We will see if our strategies will be the same of our future reality..... Ciao, Simone Moro
