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

Dispatch Six: Yesterday all the team went to camp 2 at 6100 meters carrying equipment in heavy and big packs… We started at 4 a.m. and we spent 8 hours in climbing the 2000 meters of face with the last 100 meters of Kinshofer wall. Our plans was to sleep in camp 2 and the day after to go to camp 3 and then 7000 meters fixing the “last” 500 meters of fix rope.

Unfortunately we get some bad news after our arrival in camp 2.

Franco Nicolini get serious frostbite in 2 big toes and he decide to go back at BC. Oscar Gogorza in the evening time get cerebral edema so I and Inaki Ochoa rescued him in the night and stormy weather till the B.C. .... hard and danger job.....

Today also Mirco, Ed and JC Lafaille went back to B.C. because there was bad weather ad snowfall.

So tomorrow we will lose 3 members Franco, Oscar and Mirco. They will return back at home to recover. We will remain 4 members + 9 Kazak climber. The team will continue to attempt the mountain hoping to see again the nice weather we get at the beginning.
