Annapurna I ,Kangchenjunga , andShisha Pangma .Accidentally, 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. On May 1, 2008, Pasaban summited Dhaulagiri, as did Kaltenbrunner the same day again. Both seem to downplay the aspect of a race between them for the first woman to climb all 14 eight-thousanders.
