Edurne Pasaban
Edurne Pasaban (born August 1, 1973, in Tolosa, Spain) is a Spanish mountaineer. As of July 13, 2007, she is the second woman, after Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner, who has climbed nine of the fourteen eight-thousanders:
She summited on Broad Peak July 12, 2007 at 11:30 a.m. local time, only one hour before Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner did the same. (Which made it Kaltenbrunner's tenth eight-thousander. Both seem to downplay the aspect of a race between them for the first woman to climb all eight-thousanders.)
She is only the third woman currently alive that has climbed K2 (the others being Nives Meroi and Yuka Komatsu). She partially lost several toes to frostbite.

"Life is brought down to the basics: if you are warm, regular, healthy, not thirsty or hungry, then you are not on a mountain... Climbing at altitude is like hitting your head against a brick wall — it's great when you stop."   --Chris Darwin
