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.

It’s been more than 24 hours that Ali Sadpara is missing. However, son of the missing mountaineer, on Sunday said that chances of hsi father and other team members, who went climbing K2 without oxygen, returning alive have diminished.

“There are fewer chances of them returning alive as under such harsh weather conditions, there is no hope to live for three straight days,” he said while talking to a private TV channel in an interview.

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.

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.
