Ciao Mountain Zone, it is Simone. Today it is another resting day. As the last week, every day in the morning there is sunny day, and in the afternoon it is snowing a little bit, but without problem. Also today I am not able to work with my computer, but anyway, the voice is better than nothing, I believe.

I will stay here also tomorrow for a resting day because my tactic is to be [Unintelligible] sprinter, to take a rest, a very good rest, and then make the big effort that I can. So after tomorrow, I want to go directly to Camp II in two hours and drinking [Unintelligible] and maybe after go directly to Camp III and sleeping also there.

We have to consider that we have no Sherpa and so every effort it means to work and to climb with a heavy rucksack in which I have everything to survive: tent, mattress, tools, gas, sometimes also one walkman for the music for relaxing better in the evening time.

But anyway, tomorrow I will report better for what will be my plan to reach South Col. That will be the last step of my acclimatization.

Ciao from Simone.

Simone Moro, MountainZone.com Correspondent
