Horia Colibasanu is a dentist, a father of two boys and an elite climber. In 2008, he refused to abandon, at 7400 meters on Annapurna, his ill fellow, the Basque climber Inaki Ochoa de Olza, putting his own life at risk. His deed dazzled the climbers' community. In spite of this tragic incident, he continued to climb in pure alpine style, without supplemental oxygen. In 2017 the 40 years old athlete from Romania would set again for Everest, after two failed attempts. For the first time, Horia tries a solo ascent.
