Renowned mountaineer and climber Ali Sadpara has finally been laid to rest at K2’s C-4 by his son Sajid Sadpara on Thursday (today).
In a video statement, Sajid Sadpara apprised that “it’s impossible to bring down the dead bodies” as they’re located at a height of approximately 8,400 meters and on a ‘technical part’ of the climb.
I offered Fatih and recited Holy Quran on behalf of whole nation, said Sajid Sadpara.
Earlier, on July 26, Gilgit Baltistan Information Minister Fateh Ullah Khan had confirmed that the bodies of Pakistani mountaineer Ali Sadpara, Iceland’s John Snorri and Chile’s Juan Pablo Mohr had been found.
Sajid, along with Saikaly and Sherpa, was summiting the K2 to find the bodies of his father and his companions John Snorri of Iceland and Juan Pablo Mohr of Chile. The mountaineers had gone missing on February 5 earlier this year and were declared dead a few days later after their bodies were not found and the rescue mission was called off.
Ali Sadpara’s son Sajid Sadpara was accompanying the three and was forced to withdraw after his oxygen regulator malfunctioned and he returned to Base Camp.
