| Route Notes | Kim Byoung-Goo got to C4 with Kim Geun-Sang on 21 May. They stayed for 2 nights but went back to BC and C2, respectively. Kim Geung-Song left BC on 29 May at 10:22 pm on a clear night. Sherpas were fixing ropes in front of them. About 40 people were on summit. He went back to C4 at about 3:30 pm and descended to BC the next day. Lhotse: Bang Won-Shik reached C4 at 7400m on 21 May but the weather was too bad. He did not try again due to lack of oxygen bottles. Everest was more important to expedition and they needed oxygen there. Nam and Park left expeditions on 18 May to go back home for work.
