Three days ago, Pakistani mountaineer Muhammad Ali Sadpara and two other climbers from Iceland and Chile had been reported missing. The mountaineers lost contact with the rest of the people climbing on Friday during their winter climb on K2. Rescue missions have been carried out by the Pak Army multiple times. The mission was expedited on Saturday where Army helicopters flew as high as 7,000 meters and found no one yet.
Muhammad Ali Sadpara son, Sajid Ali Sadpara said that the chances of his father and other climbers returning is next to none as the weather conditions up there are pretty harsh and no one can survive that long in the mountains. Regardless of the chances, the nation is still praying for Ali’s safe return.

Armeena reminds everyone how difficult the job of a porter is, after all.
“The Pakistani porter is paid 700 rupees per “stage” (there are at least 10). He has up to 45 kgs on his back, wearing inadequate clothing, broken sandals/no socks on rock and ICE. If there is something you are going to watch tonight.” 👉🏼: https://t.co/7bDS2fJpIU #alisadpara

Fahad Mirza also wrote about the mountaineer on his Instagram and said he is ‘hoping against hope that they are found. May Allah preserve and protect Muhammad Ali Sadpara and his team.’
Tonight Pakistan, Iceland & Chile share the same grief. The world of adventure sports tests human limits. Sometimes man conquers once in a while nature humbles man. Ali Sadpara, John Snorri, Juan Pablo Mohr you are all in our thoughts. Tonight three nations are your family. 💔💔
