Simone Moro: “We don’t want to increase the danger of our climbing”
News from Baruntse north face
(information from www. russianclimb.com) 28 April, 2004
Hello Friends! I'm here again for the daily appointment with you.
Today is the eight day of bad weather. It continue to be cloudy and sometimes it start to snow. Now we are tired to continue to get rest and hope in some change. But we have no choice. We have to wait the blue sky and the sun, because all the mountain are covered of fresh snow and Baruntse too... The section we have to climb before to touch the summit, are 3 big plate of ice covered from dangerous snow. We don't want to increase the danger of our climb and die for it. The heroes are only in TV and in the book and our icy face and life has to remain in the realty and not in a epic tragic story... So we have to be patient and wait for the good weather. I and Denis today came back to base camp after 2 days spent in Chukhung at 4700 meter. Camos and Boris will come tomorrow here after the last day in a warm and clean lodge.
Ciao
Simone Moro

As you can see from photo attach, Boris and Denis fixed other 100 meters rope on the difficult part.Now should remain 60 meters before the icy section of the upper part of the face (should be more easy...). Now all the team will rest 3 days and than I, Camos and Denis will start for the summit attempt. Boris is not included in the permit because he apply too late and for that reason he will follow us by binocular and partecipate in the second part of our expedition on Annapurna from north
