BoggleOh Eun-Sun
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This is a Korean name; the family name is Oh.
Oh Eun-Sun (born March 1, 1966, in Namwon, South Korea) is a South Korean female mountaineer. She was the first Korean female to climb the Seven Summits and is aiming to climb all fourteen of the eight-thousanders. On August 3, 2009, Oh reached the summit of Gasherbrum I, her thirteenth peak of the eight-thousanders.[1] Oh is under the sponsorship of BlackYak, a South Korean outdoor product maker.[2]
Although Oh claims to have climbed all but two eight-thousanders (Everest and K2) without supplementary oxygen, there are several witnesses who maintain that they saw her climbing on it.[3][4]Moreover, some of her previous summits are under discussion.[5]
