Ciao Mountain Zone, I'm Simone again. I'm in Pheriche and today is the last resting day. In fact, tomorrow we'll arrive at the helicopter that will carry down the trekking group of my clients. And the same day, tomorrow, I will go to the Base Camp. And so the day after I have the intention to [Unintelligible] to start again for the climb.

Tomorrow the doctor, that is included in the team that's here with me, will control me for the last time taking some blood and he will do all the testing. And I will have a better answer about my condition. But anyway tomorrow you will receive another call, and we will know what is the next day's plans for my climb.

Today was a very windy day. I have also radio contact with the Base Camp and they told me that all the week, last week, was bad weather and bad condition on the mountain. So probably I choose the best week to take a rest. I will call you tomorrow again, bye-bye.

Simone Moro, MountainZone.com Correspondent
