Congrats to Oh Eun-sun on this astounding accomplishment. Very few people can claim such a feat.

Via the AP:

A South Korean climber has become the first woman to scale 14 of the world’s highest mountains.

Seoul broadcaster KBS television showed live coverage Tuesday of Oh Eun-sun reaching the summit of Annapurna and affixing a South Korean flag to the peak.

She beats a Spanish rival for the right to call herself the first woman to climb all 14 of the highest mountains in the Himalayas.
