GILGIT: Sajid Ali Sadpara, son of the renowned missing Pakistani mountaineer Muhammad Ali Sadpara, has decided to lead the search and recovery operation of his father Ali Sadpara, John Snorri and JP Mohr.
On a social media website Twitter Sajid Ali said: “I will wait for the most suitable time to start the SAR operation with all possible means. My family and I will leave no stone unturned to recover them and give the proper rituals as per everyone’s faith,” he added.
He said, “The majority of the causalities on K-2 is because of ropes. “I have also decided to start a Clean K-2 Project from C-4 till ABC cleaning all old ropes and garbage at higher care. I think we can help Mother Nature and future climbers in this way,” Ali mentioned.

On February 18, after days of searching, Mohammad, John Snorri from Iceland and JP Mohr from Chile were declared dead.
The three climbers were last seen on February 5 near the Bottleneck on K2 as they attempted to reach the summit of the Savage Mountain. Sajid Sadpara, who was accompanying the three, had to abandon his summit bid after his oxygen regulator malfunctioned and he returned to Camp 3.
Bad weather thwarted multiple attempts to search for the missing climbers, though the efforts continued for several days after the trio went missing.
