South Korean first woman to climb 14 highest mountains


A South Korean mountaineer made history in the Himalayas on Tuesday by becoming the first woman to scale the world's 14 highest mountains, beating a Spanish rival for the record. Annapurna, at 26,545 feet above sea level, was the last of the 14 Himalayan peaks above the 8,000-meter level she had wanted to conquer. We posted this as news because this isn't just an amazing accomplishment for South Korea, but also for women around the world!
