Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Edurne Pasaban Lizarribar (born August 1, 1973, in Tolosa, Spain) is a Basque mountaineer. She has climbed all of the fourteen 8,000 meter peaks in the World, as the second woman ever to do so after Oh Eun-Sun On the 18th of May 2009 she became the first woman to climb 12 eight-thousanders. On April 17, 2010, she added Annapurna to her record, and proceeded directly thereafter to climb Shisha Pangma, which completed her quest on May 17, 2010.. Pasaban summited Broad Peak on July 12, 2007 together with Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner. On May 1, 2008, Pasaban summited Dhaulagiri, as did Kaltenbrunner the same day again. Both downplayed the aspect of a race between them for the first woman to climb all 14 eight-thousanders. On May 18, 2009, she climbed the Kangchenjunga with, among others, Juanito Oiarzabal and the Polish climber Kinga Baranowska.

As of 27th of April 2010 Pasaban may have lost out on becoming the first woman to climb all 14 8,000 meter peaks to Oh Eun-Sun, although Pasaban currently disputes Oh's summit of Kangchenjunga. Following a conversation between Elizabeth Hawley and Pasaban, Hawley has announced that Oh's summit will be marked as "disputed" in future editions of her Himlayan database. On May 3, Oh had an hour long discussion with Elizabeth Hawley in Kathmandu, in which she asked Oh about the details of her Kangchenjunga climb. " Oh will be credited for her climb to Kanchenjunga but the ascent will be marked as disputed," Hawley later told the press. "Her account was completely different from Pasaban's so I really don't know who is right," ...http: //booksllc.net/?l=d
