Simone Moro assault on Annapurna 2004

5/18/2004: Via Satphone: Hello. Today we got up at 5 a.m. and we did start at 7 a.m. We reached 6250 meters, but we finished our fix ropes and icecrews on the last serac. We needed other 200 meters, not so important for going up, but for the descending. We will spend one more night here, so also Boris can acclimatise. Than we go to base camp and take 3 days rest. Denis and I have to give up our project to open a new route, because nobody else from our expedition reached the base camp and we can not leave Boris alone on the French route…. Bye till tomorrow with new pictures, Simone
