On the other front of the torch relay, the Chinese mountaineering team says all preparations have now been completed as the Olympic flame gets ready to scale Mount Qomolangma, also known as Everest. The team is waiting for the right moment to climb to the top of the world's highest peak.

Our reporter You Yu caught up with China National Mountaineering Team at the base camp and filed this report.

This a cappella song, "Zhuoma," means "beautiful goddess" in the Tibetan language. But the singers are bunch of men, mountaineers from the China National Mountaineering team, who will carry the torch to the summit of Mt. Qomolangma.

The leading vocal is the captain of the team, Wang Yongfeng, the very first Chinese who's ever ascended all the highest mountains in seven. This time, the 45-year-old Wang Yongfeng has vowed that he is ready to go to any height with his teammates.

"This time, my body is in very good condition. I can go to any height necessary to command my team. My body can handle all of this. I will fulfill my mission. Please be rest assured, I will bring us a satisfactory result."

Wang Yongfeng says two-thirds of the team have already climbed to the summit of Mt. Qomolangma. All of the required materials are in position, and his team is skilled at operating the torch and lantern. As long as the weather allows, they will reach the summit.

Tashi Tsren is a mountaineer on the China National Mountaineering Team. He made an amazing record this year when he transported three bottles of oxygen from the camp at 6,500 meters to the camp at 7,790 meters and came back within five hours, a job that usually takes two days to finish.

"I have six years' experience in mountaineering. It is my favorite sport. Thus, I chose it as my career. I feel very honored and proud to be able to participate in this torch relay on Mt. Qomolangma. My biggest wish is to win honor for my country."
Tsren Wangmo started her training at Tibet Mountaineering School four years ago, and two years later, she successfully ascended the summit of Mt. Qomolangma on her first trial. Now she is a member of the national team.

"I ascended the summit of Mt. Qomolangma in 2006, and I was the youngest of all. I was 19 years old then. My biggest wish is to be the torch bearer on the summit, and my family and friends will witness this with me. I would be very happy."

The 8,844.43 meter Mt. Qomolangma awaits the Chinese mountain climbers and the lucky cloud torch. Let's use their song once again to send them off, and together we can witness them realizing their promise to the world.
