They were back to C3 at 12:30 pm, then continued to BC where they arrived at 8:30 pm. The team was followed to the summit by the Spanish team of Carlos Soria and other climbers. The summit day weather was clear, but a little windy. Cho went up to 7700m approximately to search the body of Park Nam-Soo who was missing since last year. Choi went up to 7200m assisting Cho for the same purpose. But they could not find the body of Park. |
