On the south face of Annapurna, 7.400 meters high, a mountaineer begins to feel sick. His partner gives the alarm, and one of the most incredible rescue operations in the history of the Himalaya begins. Iñaki Ochoa de Olza is the climber who felt ill while climbing Annapurna, a mountain that is considered one of the most dangerous peaks in the world. The forty per cent of the people who have tried to crown it have died in the attempt.
