route till camp 2 is going well and we are still fixing rope. In spite of we are
here in the base camp 4 days only, the work of fixing ropes and high-altitude
camp are going very well. We make daily rotation of team of 4 climbers. Tomorrow
will be the last day of work for the kazakh team and then we will continue that
work. Our
plan is to fix Camp 2 within 2 days and continue as higher as we can. We want
to use these days of good weather and good phisical conditions. Ciao Simone,

The
map from www.barrabes.com | Hello
friends! Everything is going well - thanks the good weather and our good physical
condition. I told many times that I never had a so strong team... The day after
our arrival to the base camp (4100 mt) we went directly to C1 at 4900 carring
tends, food and climbing equipment. We went up in oly 2 hours and back in 30 minutes.
Today we went to camp 1 again and we established 3 tents and fixed also 320 meters
of the ropes above the Camp 1. So we reached over 5000 meters. | We
came back in 25 minutes and we ?run¦ in 1 hours 30 minutes up in the morning.
I write you our time of climbing because it's very unusual to be so fast without
acclimatization. Now we'll rest for next 2 days. In the meantime 8 Kazakh climbers
will work on fixing ropes. Ciao.
Simone, June 2 |  Camp

Base
Camp. Photo - Simone Moro | Finally
we arrived in base camp at 4170 meters of altitude. It is a nice place and there
is a little snow. Today we put our tents on the dry place we found and now everything
it looks Ok. Today afternoon we had a hearthquake and from Mazano ridge very
big avalanches came down. From the
Diamir face of Nanga Parbat it cames down anything and we supposed that it means
that the conditions on the face should be good. Tomorrow
we will go to fix the deposit camp and we will be back in the same day. In the
meantime 8 climber of Kazakhstan should arrive here in base camp and our team
will be quite complete. Only JC Lafaille will arrive after 4 days. So follow us
on the web and I hope to give you good news... Ciao
Simone |
