Two lady mountaineers are set to scale Annapurna, known one of the most challenging summits of the Himalayas, and set the record of becoming the first woman to climb the world’s 14 highest mountains.
Oh Yun Sun from South Korea and Edurne Pasaban from Spain are only two mountaineers among several other female climbers who are vying to make the ascent to the summit beyond 8,000 meters.
Oh Yun Sun, 43, is determined to set the world record. “I intend to make not only my own country proud, but the rest of Asia as well,” the mountaineer declared in a recent interview during her arrival in Kathmandu for the said expedition. Miss Oh is currently the leading contender for the world record, having scaled 13 out of the 14 highest peaks in the Himalayas.
