\nFor the record, the latest episodes of a story that does little honor to Himalayan climbing. The South Korean Oh Eun Sun April 27 climbed Annapurna, thus gaining the title of first woman in history to complete\u00a014x8000ers\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nThe Spanish Edurne Pasaban – her direct and defeated pursuer in the record, currently at the base camp of Shisha Pangma,\u00a0her last 8000\u00a0left –\u00a0raised doubts about Oh Eun Sun summit of\u00a0\u00a0Kangchenjunga, on the basis of a photo showing a rocky peak instead of snow and "confidences" received by the Sherpas in which Oh\u00a0stopped at a lowest point of the mountain.
\n\u00a0
\nMiss Elizabeth Hawley,\u00a0an American lady\u00a0considered an authority on the Himalayan\u00a0achievements (I’m\u00a0a "files recorder"\u00a0, \u00a0not a judge – has\u00a0 anyway declared miss Hawley)\u00a0met\u00a0both mountaineers: the ascent of Oh was "accredited" even with the word "disputed" , because of suspicions raised by Pasaban.
\n\u00a0
\nPasaban finally revealed the names of the Sherpas, but two of them have denied her version of events, saying\u00a0clearly \u00a0that Miss Oh actually climbed to the top of the contested mountain.
\n\u00a0
\nPremise that "as Buddhists, we can not lie," Dawa Ongju said in particular that the summit was reached by them and by Oh\u00a0in \u00a0bad weather\u00a0at 17:45 and had never\u00a0discuss\u00a0about this ascent with\u00a0\u00a0Pasaban.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nBetter than any comment, the words of Nives Meroi in the days following the completion of the 14\u00a08000ers by Oh Eun Sun: "What Edurne Pasaban and Oh Eun Sun do\u00a0is\u00a0assisted climbing. Both are accompanied by many Sherpas who do the "dirty job"\u00a0 preparing\u00a0 the way and the camps of high altitude. They\u00a0\u00a0just have to stick to a fixed rope and climb, step by step. To move from one camp to another instead use helicopters.\u00a0 And this different from the way I go to the mountains, making a hiking approach and equipping the way to the top in a self-sufficient. "

\nNives Meroi climbed with her husband Romano Benet 11\u00a08000ers: they never used supplementary oxygen or high altitude porters, carrying up and down the mountain all their equipment. About use of oxygen, Nives has no doubt: "It makes\u00a0 easier to climb or descent, even lowering the\u00a0altitude of\u00a02\/3,000 meters.You re up to 8000 but it is as if you were at 5,000 meters. Both Miss Oh and Pasaban have used it on several occasions. " "There is a big difference between our and their style – said Meroi – which can not be compared. Fortunately everyone can climb a mountain as he wishes, but then we must have the courage to admit that not all ways are equal ".
\n\u00a0
\nLast May Nives Meroi had given up to the summit of Kangchenjunga to stay close to Romano Benet, in poor health: the occasion, at an altitude of 7500 meters, had loaded on her back most of the weight of\u00a0\u00a0bags and helped\u00a0 Roman in descent.
