Go Mi-young

South Korea

South Korean climber among the first to summit three 8,000ers in a single season; died descending Nanga Parbat in July 2009.

Go Mi-young (고미영, 1967 – July 2009) was a mountaineer from Buan, South Korea, who moved from competition rock climbing to high-altitude mountaineering. With Korean climber Kim Jae-soo she became one of the first people to summit three 8,000-metre peaks in a single season — Makalu, Kangchenjunga and Dhaulagiri within six weeks — having climbed Everest in 2007. She was racing to become the first woman to complete all fourteen 8,000ers when, on 11 July 2009, she fell from a cliff descending Nanga Parbat in bad weather and was later found dead; that goal was eventually achieved by Oh Eun-sun and Edurne Pasaban.
