Park Young-Seok Seeking New Route up Everest’s Dangerous SW Face
March 20, 2007
ExplorersWeb is reporting some breaking news that Korean climber Park Young-Seok will be attempting to break a new route up Mt. Everest’s SW Face.
Just two weeks ago, Young-Seok was evacuated in an attempt to cross the Bering Straight–but now he already has his eyes set on Everest.
The Dangerous SW Face has only been summitted a total of 15 times, with four others tragically dying in their attempt.
Park will be leading a six-member team up the SW Face in commemoration of the 30th Anniversary of Korea’s first Everest summit.
Park is a world famous climber–having completed the first true Adventure Grandslam–he has summited all 14 -8,000 meter peaks…has traversed to both the North and South Poles, as well as completing the 7 Summits challenge.
This will be Park’s second ascent of Everest.
