Late mountaineer Ali Sadpara didn’t get what he needed in his life and his death should be a spark for all to recognise other unsung heroes.
This was said at a webinar titled
After Ali Sadpara: Pakistanâs Mountaineering Challenges, organised by LUMS on Monday. 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.

SKARDU:
Despite a halt in the rescue operation owing to bad weather conditions, friends and families of Ali Sadpara and the other missing K2 climbers, vowed on Wednesday to carry on with the search of the savage mountain with the help of sophisticated satellite data.
Rescue efforts have been on since Pakistan s Ali Sadpara, 45, Iceland s John Snorri, 47, and Chile s Juan Pablo Mohr, 34, went missing on February 5 while attempting to ascent the K2.
“For the first time ever, this team is working with the Iceland Space Agency to review the SAR technology - that has never been used before for searching and rescuing - not the SAT technology, to cover every inch of the higher elevations of the mountain despite bad weather conditions,” read a statement issued from Skardu.

SKARDU: The families of three missing climbers from Iceland, Chile and Pakistan have made the difficult decision to proceed with their rescue mission after 72 gruelling hours of non-stop intensive search-and-rescue efforts came to a halt due to bad weather, hoping that they can be resumed in the shortest possible timeframe, said a press release.
Jon Snorri, Ali Sadpara and Juan Pablo Mohr had joined forces to make a summit bid on K2 – the last eight-thousand-meter peak unclimbed in winter until a team of 10 Nepali summited earlier this year. Rao Ahmad, Ali Sadpara’s long-time friend and Sajid Sadpara along with British-American climber, Vanessa O’Brien, who also serves as Pakistan’s Goodwill Ambassador and summited K2 with Jon Snorri, have formed a virtual base camp to ensure a thorough search-and-rescue effort.
EXPEDITION members prepare to return to Skardu from K2 base camp.
GILGIT: The aerial and ground search for missing Pakistani mountaineer Muhammad Ali Sadpara and his team members Jon Snorri of Iceland and Juan Pablo Mohr of Chile has been suspended due to harsh weather.
The three have not been contacted since the midnight between Thursday and Friday when they began their push to K2 summit from their camp 3. They were last seen at the Bottleneck barely 400 metres below the summit of K2, also known as the Savage Mountain.
Gilgit-Baltistan Tourism Minister Raja Nasir Ali Khan on Tuesday said the rescue operation had been suspended for the time being, but it was not over yet.
