Moro, Langer stopped by blizzard

(ANSA) - Rome, March 2 - A bid by Italian climbers Simone Moro and Tamara Lunger to scale the 8,163-metre-high Manaslu peak in the Himalayas has been delayed by a fierce snowstorm.
    The pair posted a photo on Facebook showing a 2.6-metre-high tent at base camp submerged by snow. "It's never stopped snowing. It's astonishing. There are five metres of snow now," Moro said.
    Lunger said: "Mamma mia".
