Pakistan’s climbing hero, Ali Sadpara, John Snorri from Iceland and Juan Pablo Mohr from Chile are missing since 5 hours on K2, the world’s second-highest mountain.

According to the details, contact with the 3-member expedition has not been established for the last 25 hours. Ali Sadpara, including the two mountaineers, went missing while returning to the basecamp 4, while Sajjid Sadpara reached basecamp 3 last night.

President Arif Alvi has on Saturday prayed for their safe return in a tweet. “I hope Ali Sadpara and his co-climbers are alive and fine. These are very brave mountaineers. We pray for their safety. Good information in your thread,” he wrote.
