TIBET
Spanish woman mountain climber, Edurne Pasaban, on Saturday reached the top of mythical Annapurna in the Himalayas, in a bid to be the first woman to make the top of the 14 highest mountains in the world., those over 8000m. The 36-year-old Basque reached the top of the 8,091m mountain alongside several other Spanish climbers, a spokesman for her team told AFP news agency. Only Tibet's daunting 8,027m Shisha Pangma stands between her and a place in climbing history. Her main rival for the honour is South Korea's Oh Eun-sun, who is also on the slopes of her 14th mountain.
