Ali Sadpara K-2 Winter Summit 2021

Hope to See The Missing Mountaineer on K-2 Winter 2021

Day by day our hope to see Ali Sadpara and the two other climbers missing on K-2 getting hopeless, but officially it has not been announced about the situation. For the last five days, the top trend on the media all over the world is the missing climbers on the second-highest mountain K-2. Different assumptions are top and waiting for the miracle of the safe return of the missing climbers.

Expert Opinion:

 This morning I was watching an interview of one of the top Pakistani climbers Mr Nazir Sabir the first Pakistani on Everest and several other high mountains climbed by him. His statement about surviving at an altitude of 8,000 is a maximum of 12 hours and even in the winter is less, he also explained the information from Ali's son who was part of this team who returned from the because of some technical issue with an oxygen mask. Sajid already said that the chill wind was on the mountain by that time and the temperature was around minus 50. Mr. Nazir Sabir with his huge experience explained that the survival of the missing mountaineer could not believe as Sajjid already said to search for the bodies is better than finding them alive. 

A heartbreaking post from the wife Jhon Soneri was there on Facebook this morning saddened all those who come across the post.

Searching and rescuing my love is still going on in my heart it is a miracle and it will come back.  I have not given up and know that there is still room for miracles because the week is not over, his camp will be open until Saturday.  Those who know John Snorri Sigurjónsson know what strength he has and I hope that more people out there will give me the strength to try until it is fully tried in my heart it is a miracle and it will come back.  

Elia Sakaily just posted this a while ago on his Instagram with the following text.

"Ali Sadpara - my last portrait taken in our tent right before the final summit push on K2.

.

‘K2 is King of Mountains’ he would constantly tell me. Ali had the deepest respect for the crown jewel of Pakistan’s Karakoram. Every time he spoke of his vast experience on 8000m peaks in winter, I listened intently and absorbed every word.

.

Pasang Kaji and I were only with Ali, John, and Sajid for 3 weeks, but what was evident was the respect and love these men had for one another. There was no employer/employee relationship - they were a team. They were equal. They cared deeply for one another and respected each other tremendously.

Winter K2 was a common dream that belonged to Ali, John, and Sajid. As John constantly put it: it’s Iceland working in partnership with Pakistan - to celebrate Pakistan.

.

Ali knew everyone at basecamp and was adored by so many.

.

As Sajid put it: ‘My father is like a Snow Leopard. He moves incredibly fast in the mountains.’ He commanded your respect for his incredible talent and won over your heart with his charm and beautiful soul.

Whether dancing at basecamp, joking around with John and the kitchen staff - his smile, charm, warm heart, sense of humor and one of a kind spirit will always be what defines this great man.

Ali is one of Pakistan’s greatest heroes and his pioneering accomplishments in the throne-room of the heavens will always be remembered."

Reading the statements of Jhon Soneri's wife and Ali's son make every eye tearful but none can do nothing only God has the power to make sure and fulfil their hopes.

The Mountaineers and Love of the Mountains

The mountaineers born for the mountains and their lives go on the mountains. Being a guide for 30 years of my life I have seen many climbers lost their lives in the love mountains. I have been guided thousands of climbers to the base camp and their determinations and love of mountains seem their rush towards reaching the base camp and start climbing is more than anything else for them. I remember many climbers who used to say when do we reach the mountain we are going to climb we don't want to sleep until to reach and see that peak. You will imagine the adventure lovers always put their lives in the danger especially on the 8,000s there is 99% risk and you see all the mountains claim some lives from the climbers who reach to the summit that is custom of the high mountains.

As Nazir Sabir "said this morning the mountains have spiritual power and keep a great place for their lovers and they give them place who love them, that's why some of the climbers disappear on the high mountains".

We are not disappointed still now pray for the safety missing climbers and for those who are on their way to search on K-2 nowadays.
