Ciao Mountain Zone, it is Simone Moro again from Everest Base Camp. These are the last hours of resting. In fact, tomorrow early morning, I and Denis will start to go to return again to Camp II at 6400 meters. We will spend the night there and the day after we will try to reach 7400 meters, our third camp. We will both spend the night there and the day after we will climb a little bit higher and then we go directly to the Base Camp.

It will be a big effort because, as you know, we have no Sherpas and we don't use oxygen and our rucksack already outside our tents are so heavy. But anyway, we will stay in contact all through the days. Bye-bye.

Simone Moro, MountainZone.com Correspondent
