The peak stands at 6,220 meters (20,406 feet) high.  <br>    <br> Led by expedition leader Ahn Chi-young, the seven-member team including climbers Lee Sang-guk and Lee Eui-jun, reached the summit at 4:15 p.m. Saturday.  <br><br>After setting up a base camp in an upper gorge in the Naphinda Glacier area, the team established a new route via the east and southeast faces of Sat Peak. Previously, an Italian expedition had reached a forepeak, sitting at 6,100 meters, in 2022 via the same route, but did not reach the summit.  <br>    <br> The climbers are descending to Camp 3 after the ascent and are expected to return to base camp on Sunday. The Korean expedition is scheduled to return home on May 10.  <br>    <br> The expedition climbed in alpine style, ascending with only minimal climbing gear and food and without fixed ropes or external support.  <br>    <br> <div class="ab_photo photo_center ab_zoom">  <div class="image">   <span class="end_photo_org"><img src="https://imgnews.pstatic.net/image/640/2026/05/03/0000087847_002_20260503130010140.jpg" alt="" /><em class="img_desc">The Korean Sat Peak expedition team pose for a photo. [KOREA ALPINE FEDERATION]  </em></span>   <span class="mask"></span>  </div>  </div>    <br> The climb took a total of five days, including a day spent waiting.  <br>    <br> They departed their base camp on Tuesday, set up Camp 1 below the east face, and advanced to Camp 2 the following day. However, they were forced to wait at Camp 2 on Thursday due to bad weather.  <br>    <br> On Friday, the fourth day, they established Camp 3 and finally reached the summit on Saturday afternoon.  <br>    <br> “The Korean expedition’s first ascent of Sat Peak is an achievement that demonstrates the strength and indomitable spirit of Korean mountaineers,” said Korea Alpine Federation President Cho Jwa-jin. “I am proud of the team for reaching the summit in the traditional alpine style.”  <br>    <br> The Sat Peak Expedition consisted of seven members &#8212; Ahn, Lee Sang-guk, Lee Eui-jun, Baek Jong-min, Choi Hyeong-uk, Bae Seo-young and Choi Ji-ho. The Korea Alpine Federation directly selected the members and secured funding, marking the first time it had done so in 27 years, since the 1999 Kanchenjunga expedition.  <br><br><i>This article was originally written in Korean and translated by a bilingual reporter with the help of generative AI tools.
