The Tximist expedition to Everest in 1974 was an innovative milestone in Basque mountaineering. Financed entirely by the businessman Juan Celaya, it came very close to reaching the summit of Everest. It was the first step of the expedition that in May 1980 came to plant the Basque Flag, Ikurriña, on the highest peak in the world and marked the beginning of a long pilgrimage of Basque mountaineers to the majestic mountains of the Himalayas. On the fiftieth anniversary of that adventure, EMMOA is pleased to offer the exhibition on this expedition that opened up the world of the lofty mountains to our mountaineering.
