    Been wanting to write about the outbreak in Ratodero, Larakana for the past few days. Done with my news report for the paper and now I can share what is on my mind. Interviewed parents, children, civil society members and policemen in the community. Overall anger, disbelief.

    "These three strong and courageous mountaineers have 13 children, John Snorri SigurjOnsson (6), Muhammad Ali Sadpara (4), and Juan Pablo Mohr (3), and I know they all felt loved by their families. Please give these families time, space and compassion”

    Lost before climbing to fame at Gashabrum 1 in 2012- Nisar Hussain Sadpara is one of the three Pakistanis, including Rajab Shah and Hasan Sadpara, to have climbed all the 8000m peaks in Pakistan without using supplemental oxygen, and that too multiple times.

    If you want to read some authentic material on high altitude climb and famous mountaineers of Pakistan then follow

    Here is a feature I wrote in 2014. Sixty years after the first ascent of K2 (8,611m), an all Pakistani expedition has made it to the top of Pakistan’s highest mountain and the most difficult 8000 meter peak in the world. How many of you know these Pakistani "heroes"?

    In case anyone wants a lesson on understanding the difference between high-altitude porters, climbers, alpinists, commercial expeditions, why there is nothing heroic about climbing the Everest or how jazbaati reactions don't put food on the table, please feel free to reach out 🧗‍♀️

    This "revelation" was common knowledge in the climbing community since Nov 2020. John Snorri didn't force Muhammad Ali Sadpara to join his team as a high-altitude porter, nor did joining as a HAP lessenes the Pakistani climber's achievements by any chance.

    Biggest revelation of today: Ali Sadpara was not John Snorri's fellow expedition partner. He was there as his guide/ high-altitude porter, because he didn't get sponsorship to summit. The country's most celebrated mountaineer didn't get a sponsor in his own country.

    Unknown to most Pakistanis, climbers who formed part of K2 2014 Pakistan Expedition are some of the toughest men in Pakistan.With most of them working as guides, climbing instructors & high altitude porters, the men have an impressive list of 8000m & 7000m summits to be proud of.

    For Hussain, a high-altitude porter, this was a special climb as he had joined the team as an ‘equal team member’ as opposed to the usual position of porter. Göschl, with whom he was friend since 2003, had also promised to help him with his Nepal trip.

    Here is an obituary of the very talent Nisar Hussain Sadpara, a Pakistani climber who was presumed dead in 2012 along with the expedition leader Austrian Gerfried Göschl and Swiss Cedric Hahlen on Gasherbrum I (Hidden Peak).

    Not all climbers recieve sponsorships & endorsements. Advertisers want a face (famous/female) to sell their products. Nazir Sabir, Ashraf Aman, late Nisar Hussain, & Ali Sadpara all climbed big mountains, none got a soft drink deal. Samina is the only one who ended up doing well.

    Being a high-altitude porter (HAP) is a job. In Nepal, Sherpas provide this service and are proud of it. Most climbers reply on HAPs, even HAPs too. Muhammad Ali Sadpara never tried to downplay his work as a porter or HAP. He will always be a great climber.

    Biggest revelation of today: Ali Sadpara was not John Snorri's fellow expedition partner. He was there as his guide/ high-altitude porter, because he didn't get sponsorship to summit. The country's most celebrated mountaineer didn't get a sponsor in his own country.

    ایک عام پریکٹس ہے فیصلے کی کاپی جو میڈیا پر آتی ہے وہ صحافی سائن سے پہلے لیتے ہیں، گرین رنگ کی ہوتی ہے، اس کا کلر تبدیل کر کے چلا دیتے ہیں ۔ کیا آج تک میڈیا جو غیر دستخط شدہ کاپیوں پر خبریں چلاتے رہے وہ متنازعہ سمجھیں جائیں؟
