 Update:
Dear EverestNews.com,
yesterday Gnaro's team left BC, they all can't wait to go up, even if the
weather was not so good. They carry some more materials (food and ropes) that
they could be need for their summit push. There was nearly half meters of
fresh snow so the conditions of the mountain at the moment are dangerous and
often You can hear avalanche come down.
On CII they find Lock's team doing their exercise of acclimatation.
While they descend on BC they dismantle the tent settled on CI as they do
not need any more. Now they are all at BC waiting, probably till Sunday, the good weather.
Everything is ready, let's see what
happen!
Ciao. Idel
