About Oh Eun-sun

  • Oh Eun-sun (Korean: ???, Hanja: ???, born March 5, 1966) is a South Korean mountaineer.
  • She was the first Korean woman to climb the Seven Summits.
  • On April 27, 2010, she reached the summit of Annapurna; upon doing so, she claimed to have climbed all fourteen eight-thousanders, which would have made her the first woman to achieve this feat.
  • However, her claim to have ascended Kangchenjunga was disputed by multiple experts.
  • Oh later admitted that she had stopped a few meters before the summit of Kangchenjunga, and so the Korean Alpine Federation ruled that she had not summited.
  • The mountaineering site ExplorersWeb considered that Edurne Pasaban is the first woman to have successfully climbed all fourteen peaks.
