Mourning toward Captain Kim Chang-ho, a mountainous person who has suffered a devastation during the climbing of the Nepalese Himalayas, is continuing.

On the 13th, the 'Korean Weir Ghazhai Expedition', consisting of 5 people from Kim Chang Ho and 4 local Nepalese guides, was swept away by strong winds during climbing of 7,193m above sea level in the Himalayas in central Nepal. He crashed down and died.
As the news of the expedition's disasters spreads, it is being reexamined that Mr. Kim, who has been pioneering his own path,

Kim is a man who has climbed up a mountain path that has not been pioneered and has made various records and challenged human limitations.

In 2005, he started the Nangaparbat with 8,125 meters above sea level in 2005, and finished 14 more than 8,000 meters within the period of 7 years 10 months 6 days. This is the shortest period of 14 months ahead of the world record by one month and eight days.
Especially in the case of general climbers, most of them climb up to base camp at 5,000m above sea level when they use climbing by car. However, Kim was raised by purely human power without mechanical power.

Kim said in an interview after returning to Korea after finishing the Himalayan expedition in 2013, "It is a basic philosophy that the mountain should be raised only by the power of man." "Everest 8,848m can be climbed in various ways, I think it is something that lowers the value. "
He also added, "Even if it is 6,000 to 7,000 meters, I think we can increase the value depending on how it goes."

Some of them even suggested that Kim Dae Jang's action be a "reckless challenge", but he did not give up and pioneered a new way.

After the accident of Mr. Kim, who had challenged himself, he added that his usual motto was "from home to home", which revealed his willingness to return home safely after climbing.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, five bodies, including Kim, who died in the accident, are now being transferred to the National University Hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal.

It is 'news pick'.
