Base Camp

News from 04.05.2006. Only 60 minutes flight and I'm again in Base camp. I left the comfort and the chaos of Kathmandu and now I'm in the silence, 4000 meters higher than the capital. The flight and the view had been wonderful.

Today, in fact, I returned to my tend after the 2 days spent to help Walter Berard to organize his medical visit in the hospital and work on the bureaucracy to organize his flight back to Italy and to contact the insurance company to start the procedure to cover the expenses of the rescue…Now Walter feel much better. He is strong and he had only impact traumas but no other injury.

Tomorrow I will climb to the high camp and in 3 days I dream to reach, if I feel good, the 8000 meters... We will see....

Ciao Simone

News from 05.05.2006. Simone via SMS from camp 2:
24 hours ago I left Kathmandu and now I’m here at 6400 meters in camp 2. Today I felt good and in 3 hours and 49 minutes I reached camp 2 starting from the base camp. Now it’s snowing, but in the morning the weather was quite good. For tomorrow and after tomorrow the weather forecast is similar, but Monday the weather will became worse.

Ciao Simone
