Muhammad Ali Sadpara, known as the bravest climbing hero of Pakistan, hails from a small village in Skardu, Gilgit-Baltistan.

February 7, 2021 by Arhama Altaf

As Pakistan’s climbing hero Muhammad Ali Sadpara went missing with two other mountaineers, John Snorri from Iceland and Juan Pablo Mohr from Chile, a special team had been formed for their rescue operation.

He further said that now a rescue operation is only possible to search for the bodies.

Detailing the journey, Sadpara’s son said that they began their expedition towards the K2 summit on February 05 and he reached the bottleneck point at the peak.

“After reaching 8200 meters, I realized that it will be difficult for him to continue the expedition without oxygen,” he said.

They boy further added that when he tried to use the available oxygen, it emerged that their regulators have leaked.

Sajid Ali Sadpara said that he suffered from mental issues at that point and his father and John Snorri asked him to return.

“I returned from bottleneck while the other members of the team went up from there to reach the K2 summit,” he said.
