It is 25 years since Felix Iñurrategi died in the Himalayas
As they ascended with their brother Alberto the ochomil Gasherbrum II and descended from the second camp to the first (6,900 m), it collapsed below 400 m on 28 July 2000.
On 25 July 2000, Basque mountaineering lost one of its references and symbols: Felix Iñurrategi.
The joy of the rise of the ochomil Gasherbrum II became a regret in a few hours. Alberto, together with his brother, made a summit and as they descended from the second camp to the first (6,900 m), Felix rushed down 400 meters.
The mountain gave him life and took him away, but the legacy of the eldest of the Iñurrategi brothers will last forever.
Accompanied by his brother Alberto, he climbed twelve of the fourteen ochomiles of the world, but he is remembered by many for his understanding of mountaineering, his character and charisma.
For all these reasons, Felix's death caused great pain not only in his native Aretxabaleta, but throughout the Basque Country.
After his brother's death, Alberto climbed the two remaining peaks to make the fourteen ochomiles: Gasherbrum I in 2001 and Annapurna in 2002.
Felix's body stopped at Mount A0Gasherbrum II, but his legacy is still alive.
As he rightly said, "Bixer be enlightened by the day."
