SKARDU – Search operations launched by Pakistan Army fail to find Muhammad Ali Sadpara, John Snorri, and MP Mohr on Saturday.
Three of the missing mountaineers have not contacted since Friday. Two of the Pakistan Army choppers started a search and rescue mission to find the missing climbers who at the time had not been contacted for over 30 hours. Another search operation is underway today.
According to SST team leader Chhang Dawa Sherpa said the helicopter made a search flight almost up to 7000 meters and returned back to Skardu, the search operation can't trace anything, he added.
Sherpa further added that the condition in the ‘savage mountain’ and even at the base camp is getting poor.
