Not a comment on Jan Smith, but c'mon, there's no real comparison here - an oxygenless ascent of K2 (making her the 1st woman to climb all 14 8000m+ peaks sans 02) and an ascent of Everest on a commerical trip with 02 via the standard route? It's great that you find inspiration in it, but it's apples and oranges.
