The 36-year-old has only the 26,330-foot-high Mount Shisha Pangma left to scale. </p> </p> <p>Pasaban has questioned whether her South Korean rival climbed to the top of Mount Kanchenjunga, the world’s third-highest, last May. Blackyak’s Park dismissed the accusation as groundless. </p> </p> <p>Oh missed the chance to reach the peak of Annapurna last year because of bad weather. Snow and <A HREF=https://www.queen888.club>카지노사이트</A> wind stopped her from making the final ascent over the weekend. </p> </p> <p>She has described mountain climbing as “a sort of addiction” and her destiny. </p> </p> <p>“As long as I set my goal to become the world’s first woman to conquer the world’s 14 highest peaks, I will go to all lengths to achieve it,” she said in an interview with The Korea Times in Seoul in February. </p> </p> <p>Before embarking on the expedition, she tried to refrain from drinking alcohol, believing that there is a spiritual entity determining whether or not to allow a climber to reach the summit, she told the newspaper. </p> </p> <p>As she departed for Nepal, she assured her fans was in strong physical condition. </p> </p> <p>“I’m feeling good, and I will do my hardest to scale the mountain with faith,” Park quoted Oh as saying before her departure. </p> </p> <p>Meanwhile, two South Korean climbers were missing after attempting to scale Manaslu, the eighth-highest mountain in the world. There was no progress in the search for the climbers, who disappeared Sunday, Seoul’s Foreign Ministry said.</p> </div> </div> <div class=
