The Man from Mountain

 

Not everyone is loved by Nature so much as I know then the man who love mountains so much that Mountain hide him from the world. He is so fearless and adventurous that he decided to undertake such a mission, most of the experienced mountaineers shivering to think of. The man was no leader of any expedition but merely a porter, however, he is remembering now in the list of mountaineers. He is now the Nameplate of his village called SADPARA.         




Sadpara Village situated in near Skardu, Gilgit Baltistan near famous Sadpara Lake which is situated 8400ft above ground level. The people of Sadpara are normally working as porters with foreign mountaineers, labouring there packages up to the peak of the some of the world's largest peaks. Sadpara is a backward village that lacks in basic necessities. where people have to work as porters to earn his earning. 

Pakistan is blessed by 5 highest peaks which are above 8000 meters which include Karakoram 2 (K2). K2 is one of the most dangerous Mountains of the world with a death rate around 29%, more than Mount Everest which is around 4%. The mountain has steep climbs and cravers all over. Normally mountaineers climb on the mountain in summer because maintaining in winters on K2 is equivalent to  suicide. To take such decision is need a strong mind and Love for the high the honour of the country.

Muhammad Ali Sadpara is such a man of steel and love who want to do many things for the country and his village. He was a joyful and lovely man as remembered by foreign mountaineers. even being porter, he always dreamed to conquer the heights in such exteem, yet there was a dream. There are many people who want to live their dream but they live and died just thinking. Muhammad Ali Sadpara think of the dream and run after it no matter what price will have to pay.      

He said to be always ready to serve the country in every quarter. His first job was a porter in Pakistan Army who used to ferry supplies at siachen. After the war, the fear of the dark and height or even life and death was left far behind. He used to say that there is only two possibilities life or death. Mountaineer need to be aware and accept either.  

In 2006, Muhammad ALi Sadpara climbed Gasherbrum II, the first 8000ft, mountain. This was the first success which changing the the things for him. he brought some second hand gears for the Skardu market and get it repaired. without proper clothing and shoes he went up and return safely. thereafter, no look back. In coming years, he climbed Spantik Peak in Pakistan in 2006 then Nanga Parbat in 2008 and 2009. He also the part of the team who conquered the Nanga Parbat in winter 2016. He scaled up Broad Peak (Pakistan) in 2017.  

Internationally, He climbed Muztagh Ata (China) in 2008, Pumori Peak First Winter Ascent (Nepal) in 2017, Lhotse, Makalu and Manaslu(Nepal) in 2019. 

This year, he want to celebrate the Kashmir day in his own way. Scaled up K2 in winter that only one napelese had done before. He, along with his son Sajid Ali Sadpara, John Snorri from Iceland and JP Mohr Prieto from Chile decided to climb in this adverse climate on K2. According to his Sajid, his son, Muhammad Ali Sadpara may had reached to the summit however, on his return  he missed alngwith John and Mehr and their tracer went silent. 

No news of them so far. Pakistan Army and Airforce are searching them in adverse weather, believe he may be alive and hidden under Snow Room. more then three days has been passed and trace yet to be found. Army aviation helis were flying above their operational limits but all in vein. Now new Thermal imaginary technology will be used to see under the snow for them. 

He must be brought back. He is our HERO who always kept National flag on his chest. Always ready to serve the country in any weather and condition. Again Qoute

"Ïn climbing, there are only two possibilities- Life or Death and you must find the courage to accept either possibilities". He is so true.
