ABC (Campo base avanzato) 5.550 mt. 24-09-2010
Ore sette Italiane, Gianluca sbarca a Malpensa. Avvolte per raggiungere Kathmandù e trovare un volo per l’Italia passano giorni di attesa, nella sfortuna per quello che gli è capitato, almeno ha avuto un rientro rapido. Gianluca, salutaci la Vallée!. Poco prima di pranzo è arrivato qui da noi l’operatore della TV Basca che segue Alberto Zerain, I do not know how I managed to cross the border with a camera depth of that size without having paid for permission (24,000 € !!!!); we surely would have seized. Soon came Alberto Zerain and his climbing partner Juan Carlos. Now we work our cook Chakra, that perhaps this time for the rush-in-law makes the dough, patience ... The Basques climb this time for the last time, because after tomorrow night they will attempt the summit for the first and last time, they only have this opportunity since their climbing permit expires Oct. 2. Juan Carlos told us that he has never seen before un'avvicinamento so long and hard (24 km!) For arrive at the foot of the couloir and is happy to do it for the last time. We rest today and tomorrow we go up to C1, and we intend to go up to 7000 meters to complete our acclimatization. So in the next few days you will have more short updates and photos of poor quality. Thanks 2
