70th day of the 10 Years of Brazil on Everest Expedition

Camp 2 (6,400m)

Alpinists climb Everest by Nepal

Dear Friends!

With a lot of determination and technique, because the conditions were not favorable, at least 18 climbers were the first ones this season to be able to climb the 8,848m of altitude of Everest by Nepal.

The arrival to the top of Everest by Nepal was waited by everybody, but unhappily that doesn't mean it is easy to finish climbing, because the weather is still very unstable.

At this moment, there are 100 climbers at camp 4 who have attempted to summit last night and will attempt on the next.

Tomorrow we will go to camp 3 and then immediately to camp 4, then we will attempt the final attack.  On the next days we will have no contacts, so we will tell the news later if possible.

We count with your support once again.

A big hug,

Waldemar and Irivan
