Dhaulagiri 2005: Inaki Ochoa de Olza

Previous Update: Iņaki Ochoa de Olza, from the Lorpen-Diario de Navarra expedition, has departed today from Pamplona to Kathmandu to begin the attempt of Dhaulagiri (8.167 meters). The navarrese climber, along with Peter Guggemos, will arrive to Base Camp (4.800 meters) on 12th or 13th of April to meet the Italians Luca Vuerich, Romano Benet and Nives Meroi, who take part in the expedition by the northeast ridge. Iņaki's intention is to make a express climb from base camp to the summit, something that he attempted in 2002 until 7.800 meters, where he turned back due to high avalanche risk. After the avalanche in Shishapangma this last march, Iņak's shoulder has recovered well and he thinks there will be no problems with this in Dhaulagiri and after in Annapurna.
