SKARDU: Mountaineering heroes Ali Sadpara from Pakistan, John Snorri from Iceland and Juan Pablo from Chile are still missing on the K-2 mountain expedition.

Ali Sadpara, John Snorri and JP Mohr are officially missing, according to the Alpine Club. Rescue operation has been launched with army helicopters. I met Sadpara's son in Skardu bazaar some years ago. It is a family of heroes. Praying for a miracle.

Pakistan Army helicopters returned to Skardu once again after an unsuccessful search operation for the missing mountaineers.

The helicopters flew to a height of 7,000 metres attempting to locate the missing mountaineers but weren’t to find any clues about the missing mountaineers. The helicopters returned due to worsening weather and light conditions.

Disturbing News. Our national hero Ali Sadpara & his team members lost contact & are now declared missing on K2. Pakistan Army search & rescue is on the job. At this time I ask you all to please take a moment to pray for the missing mountaineers.#k2winterexpedition2021 #K2winter pic.twitter.com/6R6RR6DzQ2

Previously, it was reported that Sadpara and his team were able to climb K-2, the world’s second-highest mountain but their support teams have since then cautioned that the climbers’ status is still unclear without any communication from their end.
