A three-member team comprising of renowned Pakistani mountaineer Muhammad Ali Sadpara, his son Sajid Sadpar and Iceland’s John Snorri are on an expedition to set a world record by scaling up the world’s second-highest mountain K2 in winter season without using external oxygen tanks which aids breathing.
Muhammad Ali Sadpara said that he would try his level best to ascend the second highest peak in the globe without oxygen. “It’s a very ambitious plan, and conditions are not easy, but we are positive and ready for it.”
“We will make our country proud by achieving the milestone of climbing the top peak without oxygen,” the mountaineer said adding that although their mission was difficult but not impossible.
25 جنوری بروز پیر کا سورج پاکستان کے لیے ایک اور اعزاز کا دن ہوگا – جب میں اور میرا بیٹا ساجد علی بغیر کسی آکسیجن کے کوہ پیما کو سرد موسم میں سر کرکے عالمی دُنیا میں پاکستان کا نام روشن کریں گے.
ہمیں اپنی دُعاؤں میں یاد رکھیں.
