South Korean female mountaineer Oh Eun-sun successfully ascended to the top of Annapurna in the Himalayas Tuesday, becoming the first woman to conquer all of the world's 14 highest peaks.
Oh reached the summit of the eight-thousand-91-meter tall Annapurna, the ten...th highest mountain in the world, without oxygen at 6:16 p.m. Tuesday (KST). Her arrival to the peak was 13 hours 16 minutes after she left the last camp.
The 44-year-old climber is the only woman to succeed in scaling all of the world's 14 highest mountains that exceed eight-thousand meters.
Oh is the 20th person to achieve the feat since Reinhold Messner of Italy, who conquered the 14 peaks in 1986. She is also the fourth Korean to scale the 14 highest peaks.
