Hello!

I am in Chhukkung again, 4720 m, Khumbu Valley, Nepa. I don’t honestly remember how often I have been here; maybe more than 30, but for sure every time I was loaded with energy, dreams and the will to realize a new adventure.

The last time I have been here I was with Denis Urubko, acclimatizing to climb the Makalu. Maybe it is the nice hospitality of the Ama Dablam view lodge that helps us in acclimatizing, last time it worked, because we succeded on Makalu, and hopefully we will succeed again. This time my friend Lopsang opened the lodge in advance to host the Trilogy expedition team.
Everybody feels good, the vibe in the team is great and we are following the planned schedule.

Today we did another bit of our acclimatization schedule, we reached the top f the Chukkung Ri 5,555 meters and we are now back in the lodge, having the delicious Veg Fried Rice that Lopsang prepares.
Tomorrow will move to the B.C of the Island peak; the plan is to climb it and to spend one night on top.

Stay tuned for more…
Ciao, Simone.
