It’s already almost one month since the team departed from Italy; Amazing how time flies and in an adventure like this, a lot of things are bound to happen both planned and unplanned.
Today Simone and Denis were supposed to set up for the last camp; which is camp 3 at 6600mt where there would have had to sleep for two nights before maybe reaching 7000mt, but in a message from Denis, Simone wasn’t really in a healthy state through the night due to stomach upsets.
In his own words, Denis wrote:
“Yesterday there was an earthquake, taking out some seracs, but no problems we are all fine. This morning
I gave some tablets to Simone, It’s necessary to remember that any action on high altitude need strong and stable health condition, especially for the planned route below the west slope of Nanga. For this reason, and from our experience, we decided to stay one more day in Base Camp.”
We have been told that the polish team is leaving today late in the morning to finish setting up the ropes on the Kinshoffer route.
Thanks to technology, today we downloaded the GPS route taken so far along the Daimer Glacier. You can easily see our itinerary and the coordinates of each point. We can even start to see how much is left to do.
