Iñaki Ochoa de Olza

Iñaki Ochoa de Olza was a Spanish climber, born in Pamplona, Navarre, on 29 May 1967. He took part in more than thirty climbing expeditions in the Himalayas and was involved in more than 200 expeditions as a guide. He climbed 12 of the world's 14 tallest mountains without using oxygen, and he held that climbing with oxygen made a person more an astronaut or a scuba diver than an alpinist. He died of pulmonary edema on Annapurna, Nepal, on 23 May 2008.
