Miss Oh summited Annapurna

 
On Aprile 27th, at 3,00 PM, South Korean Oh Eun Sun summited Annapurna, becoming the first woman in the world to climb all the highest peaks of the planet!
On top of Annapurnaalso Kinga Baranowska and Piotr Pustelnik, both from Poland. For Kinga is the 7th 8000. Piotr Pustelnik completed the 14x8000ers serie.
Born in 1966, Oh Eun Sun started on 1997 her challenge in Himalaya on the 8000ers.
Explorerweb reports a letter she wrote to the local media, after her attempt to Annapurna last fall: "….People tend to think that men are strong and women are weak, even more so in the world of mountaineering where men are in majority. But if you depend on someone else, you’ll be limited. Instead, do things by yourself. It doesn’t matter what you choice is, to be a climber or a house wife, use your own skill and independence. Age and physical features are not a critical factor. Just go for your dreams"
