Earlier in a day, Sajid Ali Sadpara, son of Muhammad Ali Sadpara while speaking to media officials in Skardu said, “Pakistan has lost a great mountaineer, my father and two other climbers are no more with us.”

He said that, “I want to assure the mountaineering community across the world that my father’s mission will continue.”

On February 5, Sadpara, along with two foreign climbers, John Snorri from Iceland and JP Mohr from Chile went had gone missing during their winter K2 expedition.

Who Is Muhammad Ali Sadpara?

Muhammad Ali Sadpara, known as the bravest climbing hero of Pakistan, hails from a small village in Skardu, Gilgit-Baltistan. Lacking better training opportunities, he began his hobby of mountaineering as a porter and travelled with certified mountaineering teams but only went to the last base camp with their luggage and returned.

After that, Ali Sadpara started his journey and climbed many famous peaks. In 2019, he climbed the world’s fifth-highest peak at 8,485 meters in Nepal. He is the first Pakistani mountaineer to have climbed seven mountain peaks above 8,000 meters in the world.
