Hello to everybody, I am Simone Moro. Now it is 2 o'clock in the night and I am on the top of my hotel here in Kathmandu, making the first contact — voice contact — with you.

Unfortunately, I have bad news because today my climbing partner Denis Urubko has not arrived from Kazakhstan and so tomorrow I have to start for the trekking because it is already one extra day that I have been here...for one delay for Denis but today he has not arrived as we have scheduled it.

So tomorrow I will start for my trekking with my clients — they want to come with me until the Everest Base Camp.

And, what say, in these three days that I'm here in Kathmandu, I ran, looked like a hawk, making everything running smooth, make all the bureaucratic things.

And now I am very happy that everything is okay. Only thing is he's a problem, but I know that look, like Boukreev, the Kazakh climbers are crazy but very strong and in the end they arrive all the times in the Base Camp.

So anyway, Ciao from Simone Moro and I hope tomorrow to leave another message. Bye-bye.

Simone Moro, MountainZone.com Correspondent
