Everest Ascent and Attempts in the Post-Monsoon. Aside from the Out There Trekking Expedition described below, there was only one other successful expedition on the Tibetan side of Everest in the autumn. Eleven Koreans led by Lim Hyung-Chil sent Park Huyn-Jae and Pa Nuru Sherpa to the summit on October 6.
