It was moderated by Mehreen Zahra-Malik, who is Pakistan editor for Arab News, and featured Asghar Ali Porik and Karrar Haidri on the panel, who are all associated with mountaineering. Sadpara’s manager and friend Rao Ahmad was also on the panel.

A prominent Boston doctor who was killed Jan. 16 in a mountain climbing accident in Pakistan had gone to New York to treat COVID-19 patients at the height of the pandemic and led a life that was âbeyond inspirational,â his son said Wednesday.
Alex Goldfarb, who was affiliated with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, went missing on Broad Peak in Pakistan, the 12th highest summit in the world. His body was found two days later close to the summit, according to the tour company that led a climbing expedition Dr. Goldfarb had joined.
