Junko Tabie was inspiration for young women in west who want to conquer the world at their feet. I saw her obituary news on BBC and Australian TVs. She was such as influential woman pioneer and legend of mountain climber for many young women. It was great lost for her family, country and women mountain climber society. R.I.P Junko Tabie.
