Sajid Sadpara discovers the body of his father Ali Sadpara

After a lengthy wait, on K2, Gilgit Baltistan Information Minister Fateh Ullah Khan stated during the speech at Geo News on Monday that Pakistani climber Ali Sadpara, Icelandic John Snorri and Chilean Mohr were discovered.

In the peak of the K2, Sajid Sadpara is summoning his father, his pals Snorri and Mohr, together with the Canadian filmmakers Elia Saikaly and Pasang Kaji Sherpa. On 5 February, the mountaineers were lost and proclaimed dead a couple of days later, after not finding their bodies and calling down the rescue effort.

This morning, the crew had reached Camp 4 and flown a drone in search of their remains throughout the region, sources added.

The crew could identify a corpse in the vicinity of the bottleneck, over Camp 4.

Saikaly’s letter says that Juan Pablo has been buried by Sajid Sadpara and that the body of his father is above the bottleneck.

“Juan Pablo had only buried Sajid. His dad Ali is above the bottleneck just above. Tonight, we’re back up, “Canadian cinematographer remarked at 18:59.

‘Walking over bodies’: mountaineers describe carnage on Everest

An experienced mountaineer has described the “death, carnage and chaos” at the top of Mount Everest as climbers pushed past bodies to reach the world’s highest summit.

The death toll on the mountain grew to 11 in the past day after an American doctor was killed while descending from the peak. It emerged also that an Australian climber was discovered unconscious but had survived after being transported downhill on the back of a yak.

Elia Saikaly, a film-maker, reached Hillary Step, the final stage before the summit, on the morning of 23 May, where he said the sunrise revealed the lifeless body of another climber. With little choice at that altitude but to keep moving, his team – including Joyce Azzam, the first Lebanese woman to climb the world’s “Seven Summits” – made it to the peak a short time later.

“I cannot believe what I saw up there,” Saikaly said of the last hours of his climb in a post on Instagram. “Death. Carnage. Chaos. Lineups. Dead bodies on the route and in tents at camp 4. People who I tried to turn back who ended up dying. People being dragged down. Walking over bodies. Everything you read in the sensational headlines all played out on our summit night.”

This year’s Everest climbing season is so far the fourth deadliest on record, with mountaineers blaming poor weather, inexperienced climbers and a record number of permits issued by the Nepalese government, which, along with a rule that every climber has to be accompanied by a sherpa, led to there being more than 820 people trying to reach the summit.

Musings: Death on the Mountain

by  Saṃsāran

The sad news that a fellow American and attorney around my age died on the descent of Mount Everest.  NBC reports:

Adventure filmmaker Elia Saikaly posted a series of images to social media to show the “chaos” that unfolded during the mountain’s infamous “deadly season” over the past fortnight. Mr Saikaly said he “cannot believe what I saw up there”.

“Death. Carnage. Chaos. Line-ups. Dead bodies on the route and in tents at camp 4. People who I tried to turn back who ended up dying. People being dragged down. Walking over bodies,” he wrote.

“Everything you read in the sensational headlines all played out on our summit night.” 

This got me thinking. First and foremost he should not have been there. His body was sixty-two years old. It is a human body. Human bodies wear down and his was worn down despite training and experience. He was by all accounts in good shape (for his age) and an experienced climber.

It was on one hand about challenging one’s limitations while on the other accepting the truth that we are mortal and that some limits will not be broken. The speed of light will not be broken. The death of the human body will never cease. 

We are and always will be mortal.

That is because it is unnecessary and probably counterproductive for an individual organism to be immortal in terms of biology. In nature creatures would succumb to predation or accident in any case. Moreover, rapidly evolving and adaptive species are the best hope for passing along in Professor Dawkins’ classic phrase, “the selfish gene” and this is the measure of success for a life.

Ah, pride. Now as for Christopher Kulish, that’s the lawyer’s name, I suppose it was his right to take the risk so long as it did not endanger others. Still, it seems like an awfully expensive and uncomfortable means of committing suicide.

🗣️📢 Latest Update from K2 Camp 4 ⛑️🏔️🇵🇰 Bodies of Pakistani mountaineer Ali Sadpara, Iceland’s John Snorri and Chile’s Juan Pablo Mohr have been found, confirmed Gilgit Baltistan Information Minister Fateh Ullah Khan to Geo News on Monday. Sajid Sadpara, along with Canadian filmmaker Elia Saikaly and Pasang Kaji Sherpa, is summitting the K2 to find the bodies of his father and his companions Snorri, and Mohr. The mountaineers had gone missing on February 5 and were declared dead a few days later after their bodies were not found and the rescue mission was called off. The team had reached Camp 4 this morning and flew a drone around the area in search of the bodies, sources said. Through the drone, the team was able to detect a body above Camp 4 near the bottleneck. A message from Saikaly said that Sajid Sadpara has buried Juan Pablo and that his father's body is located above the bottleneck. "Sajid just buried Juan Pablo. His father Ali is just above the bottleneck. We will go up again tonight," said the Canadian filmmaker at 6:59pm. A minute later, Saikaly sent an SOS message for more oxygen as the team was running low on it. "If anyone can help us get more oxygen, anyone from Pakistan with influence, people at Base Camp leaving, we could use your help. Running low," said the Canadian. He added that the team is currently at Camp 4. 👉 Facebook; 📣 https://www.facebook.com/xplorevalleys/ 👉 follow us @xplorevalleys 🇵🇰@xplorevalleys 👉@xplorevalleys ------- Tags ------- - - - #travelers #peace #peaceofmind #campingplatz #hikers #hikerslife #hillcountry #travelworld #k2winterexpeditionkz #icelandroadtrip #chileanmemes #k2winter2021 #karakorum #sherpa #nepal #pakistan #mountaineering #expeditionk2 #alpinism #wintersummitk2 #k2winterascent #alpinism #icelandtravel #chilegram #k2 #K2winterexpedition2021 #johnsnorri #AliSadpara #juanpablomohr #alpinismo #climbinglife @john_ryder1 @john.snorri @jp.mohr @juanmatagarcia @juliusdein @chiletravel @iceland.explore @travel.in.brazil @greece.traveling @k2basecamptrek @kaleemullah10 @alittlepakis (at K2-The Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRzRBW9MEUP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Stotine ljudi, zabilježio je fotoaparatom ovih dana Kanađanin Elia Saikaly, prolaze pored leša jednog od jedanaestorice onih koji su za aktualne penjačke sezone u svega desetak zadnjih dana podlegli usponu na Mount Everest.

Penjači stoje u redu, kao na bankomatu. Konačno, i jest riječ o nekoj vrsti bankomata, na taj se način penju klijenti, a ne alpinisti; oni koji mogu platiti…

影／攀聖母峰「越屍體前進」 登山業削價競爭被指元凶 聖母峰登山季接近尾聲，過去10天計有11人罹難。第三度攻頂的加拿大電影製作人沙卡里（Elia Saikaly）描述他途中必須跨越一具登山同好的屍體，內心受到「極大打擊」，並表示這是他最後一次重返聖母峰。 接受加國媒體電訪時，沙卡里透露，在聖母峰目睹一幕幕「死亡、大屠殺、混亂」，稱登山路徑與攻頂前最後基地的四號營帳篷內都是屍體，媒體最近以聳動頭條報導的「大塞車」場景，就在他們出發攻頂夜真實上演。 沙卡里告訴《CNN》，從三號營前往四號營路上時，見到前面有50至60名登山客，已算是第一個警訊。登山團隊27日出發後，更發現有200多人也要攻頂。 富有經驗的沙卡里見狀開始捫心自問：「要怎麼樣才能讓全體攻頂後平安下山？」 他回憶，從四號營出發20分鐘後，就見到1名登山客被2名雪巴人扛下山，一開始還因天色昏暗而有點摸不著頭緒，後來才驚覺，「天啊，這人沒命了。」 出發45分鐘後，沙卡里又見到1名神智不清的登山客被帶下山。但最驚人震撼的場景發生在出發3小時後，見到有登山客倒地喪命，遺體就被固定在安全梯上。每一個攻頂路上的人都必須要跨越遺體，現場沒有人身上有道具可以處理此一震驚的情況。 有旅行業者認為，聖母峰登山季「塞車」引發登山客喪命，當地廉價旅行業者亂砍價搶生意是元凶之一，他們將10萬美元的登頂費用砍到四分之一，相對地在安全措施上「做半套」，未提供正確的設備、導航工具或充足氧氣。 專精於聖母峰的美國登山家麥迪遜（Garrett Madison）告訴《每日電訊報》，最大因素在於許多經驗不足的登山客預��當地的廉價業者，這些業者沒有提供嚮導、氧氣、醫藥與領隊等確保上下山安全的適當支援。 獲得認證的當地旅行業者也呼籲尼泊爾政府取締廉價競爭者，尼國當局已指明年可能減發登山許可。 【相關閱讀】 ‧ 聖母峰塞到11人殞命 世界登頂第一人的名言都沒在聽！‧ 沒有雪崩沒有狂風 竟有11人死在排隊的珠峰上‧ 聖母峰人潮如九份老街！都怪這4原因 死神偷偷跟上山… 加拿大電影製作人沙卡里拍攝，朝聖母峰攻頂的登山者別無選擇，必須跨越登山同好的屍體（紅圈）前進。今年聖母峰登山季已近尾聲，過去10天計有11人罹難。畫面翻攝：news.com.au
