Iñaki Ochoa Dies on Annapurna

The employees of Mountain Hardwear would like to extend their deepest sympathies to the friends and family of Iñaki Ochoa de Olza; Spanish mountaineer who died on Annapurna - Thursday May 22, 2008. We've all been glued to news sources watching this story unfold - keeping our fingers crossed and our thoughts with Iñaki and the rescue teams.

Iñaki passed away after four days being sick and stranded at camp 4 (7,400 meters). He will be missed. The commitment and courage exemplified by everyone involved in this story has been amazing and inspiring. We wish the best to everyone still in the region. Come home safely.
