Chances of surviving for two-three days at 8,000 (metres) in winters are very low: Sadpara's son
RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) - Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Maj Gen Babar Iftikhar on Monday described Pakistani mountaineer Muhammad Ali Sadpara as a national hero.
Exclusively talking to Dunya News, the ISPR chief said that Pakistan Army would not leave any stone unturned in the search operation for mountaineer Ali Sadpara, who is still missing along with two others during a K2 expedition.
Climbers John Snorri from Iceland, Juan Pablo Mohr from Chile and Muhammad Ali Sadpara from Pakistan lost contact with base camp on Friday.
Sajid Sadpara, son of Muhammad Ali Sadpara, who had last seen his father at K2’s final technical difficulty "bottleneck," said the chances of survival were bleak.
"The chances of surviving for two-three days at 8,000 (metres) in winters are very low," Sadpara told reporters.
On Friday a Bulgarian mountaineer was confirmed to have died on K2.
