DISPATCHES
  |
Ciao Mountain Zone, I'm Simone. Today I'm calling again from 5000 meters from the Pyramid Laboratory and today has been a good day because me and Denis, with my clients the trekkers, we reached the 5600-meter high of the small hill called Kala Patar. From that spot it was possible to see Everest summit and Lhotse summit and also all our way. And the weather condition is not so good because it is cloudy weather in the morning and in the afternoon coming clouds and a little snowing. It is particularly cold, if I think in my last expedition this spring it is a little more colder than not the other. But anyway, there is very few snow and I believe will be very much helpful for all the climbers.
From the summit of Kala Patar it was also possible to see the Everest Base Camp and there is huge tents — so many tents, probably too much. But anyway, tomorrow me and Denis we will go to the Base Camp and we will put our tents so there will be two tents more and after I will be more precise to send you new email, photo, and voice dispatch. Thank you and goodbye.
