DISPATCHES

Ciao Mountain Zone, here is again Simone Moro. Just now we have arrived Dingboche, is 4400 meter high. Is a nice village, and around our walls we can see very wonderful mountains. Up there is the Ama Dablam, the holy mountain. We can see also the south face of Lhotse and we can see also the summit of the Lhotse, one of the two summits that I want to reach.
Denis is with me. Everything is okay, we have no problems with altitude, and all of the acclimatization is going well. The plan for tomorrow is to arrive in Lobuche and we will stay in Italian Research Laboratory — the Pyramid — at 5050 meter high. It will be — the day after — it will be the last step because we leave the Base Camp and officially we start our expedition and, hopeful, we start also...a different record for me. Which means I will send you all those pictures and email. You have to excuse me but in that day — the last day, there was windy and many [Unintelligible] and I prefer to avoid to take my technical email on the best conditions.
So, for today is everything and I will call you again tomorrow. Ciao.
— Simone Moro, MountainZone.com Correspondent
