ISLAMABAD: A Russian climber is missing, and two others are seriously injured and stranded after a tragic incident on the 26,000-foot Gasherbarm IV mountain in northern Pakistan<\/a> this week, officials confirmed Sunday.<\/p>\n

A rescue mission will be launched as soon as weather conditions permit.<\/p>\n

A five-member Russian team, consisting of Sergei Nilov, Mikhail Mironov, Alexei Boutin, Sergei Mironov and Evgeny Lyblokov, embarked on a mission to Gasherbrum IV to recover the body of another Russian climber, Dmitri Golovchenko, who had gone missing on the same mountain. could 2023.<\/p>\n

Karar Haidari, secretary of the Alpine Club of Pakistan, reported that an ice formation, possibly a cirque, collapsed on Saturday, causing a “disastrous incident” for climbers.<\/p>\n

“Sergei Nelov is currently missing, and his status is unknown,” Heydari said. His chances of survival “hang in the balance,” he added.<\/p>\n

“Tragically, two climbers sustained serious injuries in this incident,” he added. “Their condition is critical, and there is little hope that they will survive beyond the next day, making an already dire situation even bleaker.”<\/p>\n

Akhtar Shagri, a police officer in charge of foreign climbers in the northern Shagar district, said that Mikhail Mironov and Sergei Mironov were trapped on the mountain with serious injuries.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Botin and Leblokov were safely flown to Skardu by a Pakistan Army helicopter on Saturday evening. “Today the helicopter is also waiting for favorable weather for search and rescue of the other three climbers,” Shagri said.<\/p>\n

Haji Ghulam Mohammad, CEO of Blue Trek and Tours, which organized the expedition, said the injured climber was in contact with the rest of the team. However, his severe injuries prevented him from descending, as he was climbing in the alpine style.<\/p>\n

Missing climber Nelov previously survived a near-fatal fall from the same mountain with Golochenko in September last year. Nilov makes it back to base camp and is rescued by helicopter, but Goluchenko goes missing.<\/p>\n

Pakistan’s northern Gilgit-Baltistan region, home to some of the world’s highest peaks, is a popular destination for tourists and mountaineers. However, these expeditions often turn tragic. Last week, Pakistani climber Murad Sadpara<\/a> died of head injuries while descending Broad Peak Mountain in GB.<\/p>\n

This summer, five Japanese climbers and a Brazilian paraglider also lost their lives in separate incidents in Pakistan’s Karakoram Mountain range.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
