Los catorce de Iñaki

It all began on the 19th of May, 2008, on the Eastern edge of Annapurna, when Iñaki Ochoa de Olza fainted at 7,400m above sea level.  The only person he had with him, his Romanian friend Horia Colibasanu, quickly sent out a call for help on the radio, initiating an epic rescue mission, drawing in fourteen Himalaya-climbers and tens more people in Nepal and other countries around the world. All of them fought to get Iñaki down -- from an almost impossible height and from some of the wildest, most beautiful and inaccessible mountains in the world. ‘Iñaki’s Fourteen’ -- written by the journalist Jorge Nagore, a friend of Iñaki and an integral member of the group of people who coordinated the rescue operation from Pamplona -- tells the story of those five days in May when they worked against both logic and fate. It is an extraordinary tale of solidarity brought about by Iñaki Ochoa de Olza himself, and the effect he had on people in a full and happy life for which he fought until the final moment.
