Hello everyone, today I got to
Panboche a country with a cca 4000 m, 600 m more 'down to base camp. I take this opportunity to recharge the batteries of the satellite and to see some new faces. At base camp there's just me and the yak, and of course the cook, the brilliant Locke, and help cook.
We got to the point. Now and 'almost on the eve of my attempt to climb Ama Dablam. The program provides after lunch today to go back to base camp, passing it again tomorrow before heading to bed at midnight and a half to try to climb the mountain in one breath and descend to base camp. I know, will be 'difficult, the way and' very long and sometimes challenging, but I will not stop dreaming. Now I've made so many sacrifices to get this far and I have to go through. Obviously if it will be 'more' big me, I will return 'back. I made the deposits at an altitude of 5800 that I should allow the limit to make a bivouac at high altitude. But I hope he will not be 'necessary. I'm in shape, and the test on Iceland Peak 'went well, and even bet the other day at an altitude of 5900 with 20 kg backpack to make deposits of material. Obviously, I'm tired a lot, and yesterday I felt tired, but I trust in Sgambati today and rest again tomorrow to get back in shape to 100%.
It 's hard to be alone all day at base camp. There 'no one to confront or talk to. The only distraction are the messages I have friends who come through the satellite phone. I thank them very much and also Priska that every night I timely updates on the events in a big house and gives me moral support.
The photos you see are: the first one myself walking towards Ama Dablam base camp with Dinboche background, then two pictures of the base camp, then a part of crest and a timer to go to cca 5900 m, the highest 'high I have achieved on AMI Dablam.
I leave you with the advice of the day: never pee 'on the sleeping bag in a tent, inside a plastic bottle cut without turning the front light, although out there' who think the full moon that brightens up even inside the tent.
