The search for renowned mountaineer Muhammad Ali Sadpara and his two fellow climbers entered the third day on Monday as harsh weather continued to hamper search and rescue efforts.
Ali, 45, John Snorri, 47, of Iceland, and Juan Pablo Mohr, 33, of Chile, were last seen Friday around noon at what is considered the most difficult part of the climb: the Bottleneck, a steep and narrow gully just 300 metres shy of the 8,611 metre (28,251 ft) high K2.
The spot is just above the ceiling of helicopters, which have been searching for three days now.
