DISPATCHES

Ciao MountainZone. This is Simone Moro from Base Camp. Today, it is the first rest day after the big effort to transport all the equipment [unintelligible] Camp III and spend the night there. And this is not so good day, because every day, in the afteroon it was snowing, not so much, but it was cloudy. But I know very well after one, two hours sun, tomorrow morning everything will be ready. So that will be no problem for us.
Today is the 22nd of April and what news? Next week, there probably will be a party from Italy. One group of friends which, they want to visit me. These friends are famous persons, one is Mr. Eli, the owner of Eli Coffee or Eli Café. And another important person for me will be Professor D'allaglio , Belliao professor. It is one [unintelligible] doctor in Italy who help me during my training and my [unintelligible] control during the preparation for this big travel.
So, the plan is that I will go to South Col, I will spend the night there and after that I will descend into the valley for recovery. Myself, but also for my friends, guiding them into Base Camp. So you know more and I hope you will enjoy and see what I am doing and what [unintelligible] but anyway tomorrow there will be another call. Bye bye.
