Ciao Mountain Zone, here is Simone again. Today is the 17th of May. Unfortunately [Unintelligible] resting, and tomorrow we be back in one day directly to the Base Camp. And as you know, two expeditions, fortunately, already reached the summit of Everest. And this, it was...we, me and Denis, was waiting because we are the only two climbers without oxygen in all the Base Camp, and we don't want to be hero and make the tracks for the others. Other people are rich: have porters, have Sherpas and have oxygen.

So now the way on the Everest is open. And as you know, me and Denis, we already slept in South Col so we are ready for our traverse. Probably the most important day will be the 21st, the day on which we will try the summit of Everest, and then which it will start our attempt on the traverse, Everest-Lhotse.

If everything will be good, the 21st we'll be on Everest and the 22nd, if no problem on the schedule, in that day, we will be on Lhotse.

So tomorrow, I have told you is the last day for resting. Tomorrow we'll start our maximum concentration on our project. So stay with me and only in the next day if you will know the updates where we are and what we are doing. Thank you, bye-bye.

Simone Moro, MountainZone.com Correspondent
