The Italian expedition, comprised of Simone Moro, Mario Curnis, Omar Oprandi, Enrico Stefani, Leonardo Moschetti, Franco Nicolini, Mirco Mezzanotte, Walter Sandro, and Ferruccio Vidi, is currently making good progress. They have established Camp 1 at 6400m and Moro has spent a night there before descending. Moro and Mario Curnis plan to climb Everest from the north after Cho Oyu.. Should Curnis reach the summit he will be the oldest to have climbed Everest.
