Fresh from his recent attempt on Manaslu, Simone Moro is enjoying Kathmandu’s balmy 15-23ºC temperatures. And he shared dinner yesterday in one of the town’s trendy restaurants with K2 winter summiters Nirmal Purja, Mingma David Sherpa, and Mingma G. Sitting on the terrace, with their names displayed on a giant screen behind them, the four climbers enjoyed the evening as celebrities. It’s just cool to see these guys in civvies rather than down suits for once.
