Summary

Se Joon Kim led a South Korean expedition from Seoul.. The base camp was established at Tapovan at 4400m in early August. Again from the time of setting up base camp the expedition wanting to attempt “Shark’s Fin” ran into continuous bad weather. It made the route quite difficult for them to attempt. This five-member team, employed 74 porters to reach the base camp and one for high altitude.
