GILGIT: Renowned Pakistani mountaineer Murad Sadpara<\/a> has sadly passed away, as confirmed by Alpine Club Vice President<\/a> Ayaz Shagri. Sadpara was fatally injured by a falling rock at Camp One during an expedition on Broad Peak, an 8,047-meter summit in the Skardu region.<\/p>\n

Following the accident, fellow mountaineers urgently requested a helicopter rescue. In response, the Pakistan Army<\/a> deployed four expert climbers to the base camp to recover Sadpara’s body.<\/p>\n

However, the army climbers could not reach at time which resulted in Sadpara’s death where he lost the battle of life due to his fatal injuries.<\/p>\n

Murad Sadpara was a prominent figure in the mountaineering community, recently leading a cleanup campaign on K-2. Just last week, he had successfully recovered the body of a fallen climber from K-2, further showcasing his dedication and skill.<\/p>\n

His death is a significant loss to Pakistan\u2019s mountaineering community. President Asif Ali Zardari has expressed profound sorrow over Sadpara’s passing and extended his condolences to the family.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Sadpara had gone missing after successfully summiting Broad Peak.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred as Sadpara, known for his record-breaking climbs, reportedly fell after reaching the summit, and all contact with him had been lost.<\/p>\n

Deputy Commissioner of Shigar, Waliullah Falahi, confirmed the disappearance and stated that Army Aviation has been contacted to assist in the search and rescue efforts.<\/p>\n

Fellow climber Naila Kiani appealed on social media for the Pakistan Army to send a team from Skardu to the Broad Peak crampon point to bring Sadpara back safely.<\/p>\n

Sadpara was part of a Pakistani team that recently recovered the body of a porter from K2, who had perished a year earlier.<\/p>\n

Broad Peak, located in the Gilgit-Baltistan region, is considered one of the “safer” eight-thousanders, standing at 8,047 meters (26,555 feet).<\/p>\n

However, the accident has underscored the inherent dangers of high-altitude climbing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
