The time has gone and everything is coming to an end. We have done our job, and have had some setbacks, but the die is cast. We have studied the weather with great attention and have decided on the date for the final battle. The 22nd of May. With any luck, that early morning we will come face to face with Everest's upper slopes, the peak of Mount Everest. Our breathing will be agonising, we will move slowly and it will be incredibly cold. Our objective will seem unobtainable but, we won’t give up on reaching the highest point.
Our final plans have already taken shape. There is only one great and final step in our acclimation and the date is set. On the 12th, early in the morning, we will set off again to that dangerous chaos of ice blocks in the waterfall, with every intention of overcoming it and reaching camp 2 at a height of 6,400 m. The following day, in the middle of the night, we will give our all in trying to reach the south mountain pass in one go, at a height of 8,000 m, set up camp 4 there and descend again to camp 2.
QUASAR overspeed governor, in its standard version, is made up of a governor of greatly reduced size but with excellent features. It incorporates a pulley of Ø120mm to be used along with a Ø4mm steel rope. This pulley is supplied with a hardened groove by default, which provides it with great durability. Furthermore, the rope used has very little elongation, thus shortening maintenance intervals to a minimum.
