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.

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…
