\nOn may 20,\u00a0Korean alpinist \u00a0Park Young-Seok ascended Everest creating a new route up the mountain\u2019s southwestern face. Better known as Mr. Park, he is the first man in the world to stand on all of the 14\u00a08000ers, the\u00a07 summits (the highest peaks on each continent), and North and\u00a0 South Pole, setting several world records in the process.
\n\u00a0
\nAfter many attempts (1991,1993 e 2007), the SW wall of Everest has became\u00a0 a kind of obsession for Mr.Park,\u00a0 During the expedition of 2007 he lost two very dear friends, Oh Hee-Joon e Lee Hyun-Jo. Hee-Joon\u00a0 was a talented alpinist as well, climbed 10 8000ers and crossed the Poles with Park.

\n"I will conquer the peak at any cost: I have built a good and bad relationship with the southwestern wall. It`s about time I concluded it." In that spirit, Mr Park\u00a0 summited Everest designing a new route\u00a0\u00a0on the immense and difficult technical SW Face.\u00a0

\nThis is one of the most significant events this season, since the other two routes on the SW Face were opened long ago. The right hand route (British Route)\u00a0was climbed on 1975 by Doug Scott e Dougal Haston, members of a huge british expedition directed by Chris Bonington\u00a0\u00a0and the left hand route (Soviet Route)\u00a0on 1982 by 15 russian alpinists, among them Eduard Myslovski\u00a0e Volodya Balyberdin.
