Iñaki Ochoa de Olza
Iñaki Ochoa de Olza (Pamplona, 1967- Annapurna, 2008) was a distinguished Spanish mountaineer who headed over 200 expeditions to the Himalayas, in which he managed to scale 15 eight-thousanders. Before he died due to a brain haemorrhage that immobilised him at 7,400 metres on Annapurna, he wrote 'Bajo los cielos de Asia', a book that reflects his extraordinary personality and provides the key to understanding why some of the world's best mountaineers undertook an epic five day rescue operation to try to save him.
