A son's search for his father continues!

Muhammad Ali Sadpara's son Sajid Ali Sadpara has announced in a Tweet he will continue search for his father and two other missing mountaineers on K2 - The Savage Mountain. Sajid had to return back from the #K2Winter Summit attempt due to an oxygen bottle malfunction while his father M. #AliSadpara, JohnSnorri and #JPMohr continued. All three went missing, and it remains unclear if they were able to reach the top of K2 or met an accident while on their way up.

Sajid Ali Sadpara has also announced he will lead a clean up drive to remove old useless ropes on K2 that are turning out to be dangerous for the climbers trying to conquer the #SavageMountain. #SpectacularPakistan

Winter K2 Summit Success. All Nepali Team First to the Top

Winter K2 Summit Success. All Nepali Team First to the Top

It has been over 20 years since the first climbers attempted K2 in winter. Since then, a host of expeditions have made the attempt, with no-one climbing above Camp 4 (7950 metres, 26,075 feet). With violent and changeable weather, high altitude and the need to endure incessant cold, the challenges are exponential compared to an ascent in the summer season. The Sherpas who were reported to be on…

Superlatives Abound as First Day of Winter Arrives for K2 Climbers

Superlatives Abound as First Day of Winter Arrives for K2 Climbers

As we roll into the true start of winter, K2 climbers are rapidly feeling the effects of the high mountains in the coldest season. Temperatures are just one indication, add in the need to acclimatize, the incessantly flapping tents and the occasional snow storm sweeping in, creating an even more hostile environment. K2. On a warm summer day. It won’t look or feel quite the same right now.…

14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible (titolo italiano “14 vette: scalate ai limiti del possibile“). L’intrepido alpinista nepalese Nimsdai Purja parte per una missione apparentemente impossibile: scalare i 14 ottomila del mondo in sette mesi. Due anni fa ho conquistato la cima dello #Shishapangma e ho portato a termine la missione. Sono riuscito a scalare le 14 vette della zona della morte in soli 6…

Dopo la conferenza stampa che ha ufficializzato la morte dei tre alpinisti scomparsi sul K2 si stanno moltiplicando le manifestazioni d’affetto e riconoscenza nei confronti di John Snorri, Juan Pablo Mohr e Muhammad Ali Sadpara. Proprio a quest’ultimo la scuola militare di Skardu, la “Army Public School”, ha deciso di prendere il nome dell’alpinista pakistano. Muhammad Ali Sadpara, non era un…

Krzysztof Wielicki climbs the steep slopes of Nanga Parbat during the winter season of 2006/2007, then 57 years old. On February 17th 1980, Krzysztof stood on the summit of Mount Everest, the first summit of an 8000 meter mountain during the winter time, after which the Poles were nicknamed the “Ice Warriors”. In 1986, Krzysztof achieved another first winter ascent of an 8,000er, when he and Jerzy Kukuczka climbed Kangchenjunga. And then, in 1988, still recovering from a spinal injury from an accident several months before, he made the first winter ascent of Lhotse — solo. In 1996 Krzysztof became the fifth person to reach the summit of all 8000 meter mountains, which he crowned with a bold ascent of Nanga Parbat, solo, via the Kinshofer Route. Still active today, Krzysztof led the 2018/19 K2 winter expedition. A living legend, a great master, a great friend. Krzysztof Wielicki asciende las empinadas laderas del monte Nanga Parbat durante la temporada de invierno de 2006/2007, en esos momentos con 57 años de edad. El 17 de Febrero de 1980, Krzysztof alcanzó la cima del Monte Everest, la primera cumbre de una montaña de 8000 metros durante el invierno, después de lo cual los polacos fueron apodados los "Guerreros de hielo". En 1986, Krzysztof logró otro primer ascenso invernal de una montaña de 8.000 metros, cuando él y Jerzy Kukuczka subieron exitosamente el Kangchenjunga. Y luego, en 1988, todavía recuperándose de una lesión en la columna de un accidente meses antes, hizo el primer ascenso invernal del Lhotse - solo. En 1996, Krzysztof fue la quinta persona en alcanzar la cima de los 14 montes de 8000 metros, que coronó con un audaz ascenso del Nanga Parbat, en solitario, a través de la Ruta Kinshofer. Aun activo, Krzysztof lideró la expedicion al Monte K2 durante el invierno de 2018/19. Una leyenda viviente, un gran maestro, un gran amigo. @natgeo @thephotosociety #nikonargentinaoficial #krzysztofwielicki #k2winter #k2 #expeditions #climbing #extreme #8000ers (at Nanga Parbat Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLfP7yOjEQi/?igshid=z2z0zkukezou
