Pakistani Mountaineer Murad Sadpara Passes Away After Scaling Broad Peak – Startup Pakistan

Renowned Pakistani mountaineer Murad Sadpara has sadly passed away after successfully reaching the summit of Broad Peak, one of the world’s highest mountains. While descending from the 8,047-meter peak, Sadpara was struck by falling rocks, which caused serious injuries.

Despite the efforts of local rescuers, who quickly recovered his body and transported it to the Japanese base camp, Sadpara could not survive the injuries.

The rescue operation was supported by the Pakistan Army and included a team of six local climbers, with additional assistance from Sadpara’s relatives.

Broad Peak, often considered one of the “safer” high-altitude peaks, still presents significant risks to climbers due to the harsh and unpredictable conditions at such elevations.

This tragic incident serves as a reminder of the dangers involved in high-altitude mountaineering, even for experienced climbers like Murad Sadpara. His passing is a great loss to the mountaineering community in Pakistan and beyond.
