Park Young-seok (2 November 1963 – October 2011) was a South Korean mountaineer. In May 2005 he became the first person to complete the True Explorers Grand Slam — all 14 eight-thousanders, the Seven Summits, and treks to both poles, reaching the South Pole on foot in 44 days without resupply. He also once climbed six 8,000-metre peaks within a single year.
