#2. My captain, Park Yeong-Seok.




I hadn't had anyone who I respected until I knew the mountaineer, Park Young-Seok. He is the first man in the world to complete a true adventure Grand Slam. That is to say, he has climbed the world's 14 Eight-Thousanders, the Seven Summits, and visited both Antic and Antarctic poles. There is no man who completed it except him until now.

He was my captain for the long march on foot. I was a member of his expedition. We walked 630km from Haenam, which is called ‘the end of the earth’, to Seoul City hall for 25days. During the long march, he walked with us. Sometimes he cheered us up, sometimes scolded us for our selfishness and laziness. We were going through a great amount of physical and emotional pain, but his word, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here with you”, made us complete the long march. His leadership that I experienced was a just small part in comparison with his other expeditions for Eight-Thousanders(Everest, Annapurna, K2, and so on), the Seven Summits(the most highest mountains in each continents) and Antic and Antarctic poles. My long march cannot be compared with them. His other expeditions were very dangerous. They even required his and his member’s life. However they didn’t hesitate to follow him. He is the only great captain to them like me. As you see his achievements, he is challengeable and never gives up. He didn’t achieve each thing only at once. For example he tried to climb Mt. Everest for 8times. Moreover he tries to perfect to himself. If other people like Elisabeth Holly, who is an authority on collecting data about high mountain climbing, admit his climbing, he’ll climb the same mountain again if he wasn’t satisfied. That’s the most important reason I respect him. I’m really eager to resemble his uncompromising attitude to himself.

His words that I heard make me overcome other hardships in my real life even if he doesn’t be by me. He is always my captain in my life.
