Oh Eun Sun ha pospuesto su intento de cumbre para la semana próxima cuando se preveen mejores condiciones climáticas. Recordemos que Miss Oh está intentando su 14×8000 y según un portavoz de Blackjak -su patrocinador- debió abandonar el intento en el día de ayer tras haber alcanzado el C3 por encima de los 7200m.
También informa que aguardó durante seis horas en el C3 esperando el momento propicio de ataque, pero esto nunca sucedió, con lo cual Miss Oh y todo su equipo decidieron retroceder y aguardar en el campo base el tan ansiado mejoramiento de las condiciones climáticas.
«Estamos bajando hasta el campo base debido al mal tiempo. En vista de las condiciones actuales, el clima no mejorará hoy o mañana, con lo cual el intento no tiene demasiado sentido».

South Korean female alpinist Oh Eun-sun, 43, has put off her attempt to climb the 8,091-meter Annapurna peak, the last of the 14 highest in the Himalayas she is trying to scale, till next week due to bad weather, a Korean sponsor said in Seoul Saturday.

However, she could not advance any more at the point due to thick fog and clouds and stayed three hours there till returning down back to Camp 3 above 7,200 meters on sea level, the spokesman said.
Oh also waited another six hours at Camp 3 but had to return to the base camp 4,200 meters high at 7 p.m. as the weather does not get fine. The expedition is scheduled to arrive at the base camp Sunday morning, according to him.
«We are climbing down to the base camp due to bad weather. In view of current conditions, the weather would not improve either today or tomorrow,» the Blackyak spokesman quoted Oh from a wireless communications with the base camp as saying.
