The day we have been to Everest Base Camp Alex Txikon and his team of Sherpa attempted to climb towards the summit (in winter and without supplemental oxygen), but pinned down by winds that were simply too violent. It may not have worked out this winter, but we are rooting for you @AlexTxikon for the winters to come! #staysave

This extraordinary man is “ALI SADPARA”. Though most of the audiences here know him well, sadly, there are millions and millions of Pakistanis who are unaware of him and all the great feats he has pulled in his sterling climbing career. Doped with pointless and stupid morning shows and never-ending mindless political gibberish, our media yet again failed to acknowledge his great achievements in just recent weeks. Ali Sadpara is the first Pakistani to summit an 8000er in winters, in fact he not only fixed the ropes for the expedition on Nanga but played an instrumental role in taking the whole expedition to the top. Ali has climbed all the Pakistani 8000ers, some for multiple times including Nanga. In recent few weeks he managed to stand atop the dangerous Lhotse (4th highest at 8516m) and later scaled Makalu (5th highest at 8481m) to become the first Pakistani ever to climb seven 8000m peaks in history. Ali narrated his recent Nepalese yatra to Pakistan Explorer staff last night in a two-hour long session before his flight back home to Skardu. With a small sponsorship from Pakistan, Ali was on a strictly one-summit-budget to scale Makalu and while he was finalizing his plans, a group of friends offered him a permit for Lhotse free of cost. Ali did not waste a minute to accept the offer, regardless of the fact that he had not done any homework for the relatively dangerous Lhotse. The file photo shows Ali on the Nanga winter expedition 2015, where after reaching the bottom of the trapezoid at almost 7600m, he had to wait for almost an hour for the rest of the expedition members to join him. Ali was struck with altitude sickness. The team lost the route and eventually the expedition was called off. Ali returned to Nanga the next year ultimately reaching the top along with Simone Moro and Alex Txikon. All Hail the Hero of Pakistan!

Alex Txikon (l.) and Simone Moro in Lhukla

Several winter expeditions in the Himalayas and Karakoram started in the first days of the year. Two of the three climbers who had succeeded the first winter ascent of Nanga Parbat in 2016 met in Lhukla in Nepal, however now with different goals: The Spaniard Alex Txikon wants to tackle K2 in Pakistan, the last remaining eight-thousander to be climbed for the first time in the cold season, the Italian Simone Moro is drawn to Manaslu again. The 51-year-old and the South Tyrolean Tamara Lunger had failed on the 8167-meter-high mountain in western Nepal in 2015 because of the enormous snow masses of that winter. This year, according to the Kathmandu-based newspaper “The Himalayan Times”, Moro plans to climb with the Nepalese Pemba Gyalje Sherpa on the normal route without bottled oxygen. In order to acclimatize, they wanted to climb the 6,476-meter-high Mera Peak in the Khumbu region.

Also two Poles in Txikon’s K2 team

Alex Txikon meanwhile travelled with his Sherpa team to Islamabad. There he meets his Spanish climbing partner Felix Criado and other compatriots from the K2 expedition team – as well as the Poles Marek Klonowski and Pawel Dunaj. Both have participated several times in winter expeditions to Nanga Parbat. “We will certainly not play the first fiddle if we play the fiddle at all,” said Pawel in an interview with the Polish radio station “RMF 24”. “But we will try to support Alex as much as we can.”

Only seven climbers left in Pivtsov’s team

Pivtsov’s team in Islamabad

While Txikon’s team grew, the K2 winter expedition team from Russia, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan shrank from eleven climbers – as originally planned – to seven, due to lack of money. Now the experienced Kazakh Vassily Pivtsov, who has already scaled all 14 eight-thousanders, will lead only six climbers: the Russians Artem Brown, Roman Abildaev and Konstantin Shepelev, the Kazakh Tursunali Aubakirov and Dmitry Muraviov and the Kyrgyz Mikhail Danichkin. The mountaineers from the former CIS states are on their way to Northern Pakistan.

Nardi and Ballard in Camp 1

Daniele Nardi on Nanga Parbat

Still in the old year the Italian Daniele Nardi and the Brit Tom Ballard arrived in the base camp at the foot of Nanga Parbat. As reported, they want to climb together with the two Pakistani Rahmat Ullah Baig and Kareem Hayat the 8125-meter-high mountain on a new route via the Mummery Rib in the Diamir Face, which has not yet been mastered. They already reached Camp 1 at 4,700 meters.
