Poor weather on Wednesday continued to hamper the search and rescue mission for climbers Mohammad Ali Sadpara, John Snorri and Juan Pablo Mohr who were last seen near the K2 Bottleneck on Friday morning.
The Inter-Services Public Relations said the search team is on standby and will carry on with the mission once the weather shows improvement. Mostly dry, extremely cold max, -35°C on Wed afternoon. Winds decreasing (severe gales from the WSW [west-southwest] on Wed night), a forecast on Mountain Forecast said.

“Mountains demand passion.
Aap ki dillagi hone chahiyee paharoon kay saath [your heart needs to be in love with the mountains],” a beaming Muhammad Ali Sadpara had said in 2016 when I asked what it takes to become a mountaineer.
A “jolly, good fellow”, Sadpara is often described by his peers as a tough as nails climber with a good-humoured nature. The only Pakistani to have climbed eight of the 14 8,000 metre peaks, Sadpara came to prominence in local media when he, along with Spain’s Alex Txikon and Italy’s Simone Moro, made a world record with the first winter summit of Nanga Parbat in 2016. The Spaniard and the Italian said their summit would not have been possible without Sadpara, a rousing endorsement for a man largely hidden from the public eye in Pakistan.
