Valerio Massimo Everest Expedition 2009

Me on the summit of Cho Oyu with Everest in the background

South Summit reached - still going strong

May 21st, 2009 by Alix

Valerio has radioed down that he has reached the South Summit of Everest at 8,750 meters (28,750 feet). 

100 vertical meters to go.

He feels strong and has just started a fresh oxygen bottle.
