Lobuje Southeast, Southeast Face, 1992. A Korean team led by Kim Jae-Soo made what is probably a new route on the 750-meter-high southeast face of the southeast summit (c. 5970 meters) of Lobuje East. They made two unsuccessful attempts on September 5 and 11, 1992. Leader Kim, Lee Sung-Chun and Park Young-Sik started the final ascent on September 15, 1992, helped by ropes fixed during the attempts. After 13 difficult pitches they were caught by bad weather but continued up the 6½ pitches to the top without more fixed rope. The new route began left of the broad buttress and left of the 1990 Czech alpine-style direttissima of Miroslav and Michal Coubal. The two lines joined after a few pitches. Then the Korean route went 20 to 50 meters to the left before crossing the Czech route in the upper part of the face.
