Why should she accept it :?: Haven't you read that article :?: I don't think that a climber who has ascended thirdteen 8000ers be a cowardly loser...

Well :?: There I've read that:

Pasaban and her team passed their doubts also to Miss Hawley. "Miss Oh and her Sherpa told my assistant that they both summited Kangchenjunga and we had no reason to doubt them," Liz told BBC. "This same Sherpa is now with Miss Oh on Annapurna 1. My assistant will re-interview this Sherpa when he returns to Kathmandu.

“The only picture that anyone has seen shows Miss Oh standing on bare rock. But Miss Pasaban showed me a picture of her team on the summit, and they are standing on snow." She said she would continue to include Oh’s 2009 Kanchenjunga ascent in the database, but would describe it as “disputed” in future editions.


Have you read BBC's article :?:

Nervios en el Campo Base, se acerca el día esperado and retrasamos la salida del CB hasta nuevo aviso. They are still waiting for the good weather
