Search for Lost Captain Park Starts
Korean Alpine Federation (KAF) and local Sherpa decided to launch a search by forming an accident control party and sending an investigation crew in order to find lost Captain Park Young Suk and his crew, who were climbing Mount Annapurna, one of the Himalayas, starting on October 20th.
Starting last month, Captain Park Young Suk and his crew have been climbing Mount Annapurna, one of the Himalayas. However, on October 18th, 6 pm, Captain Park’s contact with the base was cut off. His last words were “We’ll descend from the mountain due to the bad weather and rockslides”. 36 hours after the cut off, KAF declared captain lost and started to take a measure in order to find the captain. KAF is planning to send a helicopter to the place where the last connection was made in addition to sending investigation crew formed with local Sherpa. A person concerned with KAF mentioned that they will need to get help from Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, because there are numerous unprofessional hikers such as cameramen and reporters.
Captain Park started the climb with a goal to pioneer the new road at the Mount Annapurna’s Southern Wall. He was planning to go through the new road that was never taken before without the help from anyone. Some experts are speculating that Captain Park is stuck in a big crevice based on the fact that he mentioned avalanches as a major reason of comeback. Professionally, those crevices are known as Bergschrund and are made by continuous formation of glaciers placed beneath the cliff steep enough to prevent the snow from piling up.
