Compose from the advanced base camp, after lunch and finally with his belly full.
After 3 days of toil have finally placed in a field on the plateau above the Icefall 6400mt of Shishapangma.
parties on 20 days ago loaded with everything you need to equip the three fields on the mountain we spent the first night at the base of 5900mt serac and then cross the next morning and take us to the base of the steep channel that goes to campo1.La serac us busy for many hours having to find their way between ice pinnacles up to 10m high. Fortunately, the team of the Chinese group Scherp gave us a hand in identifying the location.
At the base of the channel to 6100mt Andrea Z. has continued to climb, bringing the material to a height of 6300mt and then descends to the rest of the group at the base of the ramp where he would spent the notte.Fortunatamente bad weather has run out during the night and the morning of September 22 there 6400mt allowed to climb to the plateau which was set up with 2 tents, campo1.La climb proved far from easy, only the first 100 meters of fixed rope, and then channel showed it was decided to proceed on the rope .... suitable choice since Philip and Andrew Z. have decided to go inside some crack.
All over for the better with the arrival in the late evening of the 4 advanced base camp, where there was a very good refreshed overcooked pasta topped with ketchup served by the kitchen boy Panden.
