Thai dentist becomes first Thai woman to conquer the world’s seven summits

 

 

A Thai dentist has become the first woman in Southeast Asia to conquer the world’s seven major summits, with Mount Denali in Alaska being the latest.

 

Doctor Napassaporn “Eem” Chumnarnsit wrote on her Facebook page that she made it to the top of Mount Denali, the highest mountain in North America, on June 28th.  Her attempt to climb this mountain failed last year.

 

She said that it took her about one year to prepare herself physically and mentally to conquer this summit. She had previously climbed Mount Everest, Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, Elbrus in southern Russia, Aconcagua in Argentina, Puncak Jaya in Papua New Guinea and the Vinson Massif in Antarctica.

That must be some achievement, well done. I couldn't even get to the top of Mount Kenya years ago.

[dcnx]

Amazing. Good job! That’s quite an accomplishment.

[leeneeds]

Such a different view from those peaks, than looking

into the abyss of someones mouth, 

well done Dr Eem.

 

 

[Nowisee]

That's hard core.  

Well done.

Hats off to you

[ianezy0]

She is really ‘filling’ the ‘cavity’s’ in her life. ???? 

[tifino]

 when it is more usual for individuals, to make mountains out of molehills

 

she has certainly turned things around the other way!

[Orton Rd]

Plenty of Thai women could do the same if they had the money, the time and not much else to do.

[seminomadic]

Big accomplishment. Nice work.

[Hanuman2547]

Congratulations on this great accomplishment!  

[JamesBlond]

No wonder I couldn't get an appointment.

[Graemej100]

Yes. That is well done, especially considering Denali is the tallest mountain in the world. 

[connda]

Like other summit conquerors, I wonder how much garbage and waste she left in those no longer pristine ecological zones. 

[Mavideol]

Why would you say that?

Denali is the third most prominent and third most isolated peak on Earth, after Mount Everest and Aconcagua.

Must be a welcome change from exploring all those cavities.

And could find the 7 places on a map

It is a matter of definition. Everest is the highest mountain ie. highest above sea level. Denali is the tallest ie. from its base to its summit.

You're forgetting Mauna Kea.
