\nOn 2009 August 3, South Korean climber Oh Eun Sun became the first woman to climb 13 of the world\u2019s 14 peaks above 8,000 metres.
\n\u00a0
\nUntil 2009 January she had summited \u201conly\u201d nine 8,000ers, then she announced to be ready to become the first female 14x8000ers summiteer.
\n\u00a0
\nIn the next months\u00a0she took Kangchenjunga, Dhaulagiri, Nanga Parbat and Gasherbrum I.
\n\u00a0
\nNow the 8,091-metre Annapurna, the only one of the 14 mountains she has not climbed, is her next goal.
\nShe is expected on those days at the Annapurna\u2019s BC where heavy rains have delayed the works on the route. She plans to climb the mountain on the North face route.
\n\u00a0
\nIt is likely that the resolute Oh Eun Sun will become the first woman of the planet to complete the 14 x 8000ers.
\n\u00a0
\nThere are been many \u00a0discussions about her style, including fixed ropes, supplementary O2, prepared route, and big supporting teams: in an interview at mounteverest.net\u00a0she declared \u201cto have only used supplementary O2 on Everest and K2 and don\u2019t even carry a mask during the climbs\u201d.
\n\u00a0
\nIn any case, this is a peculiar competition where everyone can choose ( or interpret) the ethic rules of his own play\u2026
