Korean Climber Scales Highest Peaks
- 14 years ago
South Korea's Oh Eun-sun is the first woman climber to scale the world's 14 highest peaks.
Her arrival at the summit of Annapurna was televised live in Seoul on Tuesday. When she made it she called out “summit.”
After a while…
[Oh Eun-sun, Climber]: (Korean Female)
"Mom, dad, I want to see you."
Forty-four-year-old Oh reached the summit of the 26 and a half thousand foot Annapurna, after conquering the world’s 13 highest peaks exceeding 26 thousand feet.
Oh had surprised other climbers as she had a relatively small build of 101 pounds and is just five feet tall.
Oh had achieved the feat 13 years after she first climbed the Gashebrum II, one of the highest peaks, in 1997.
She climbed the world's highest peak, Mount Everest, in 2004.
