Sajid Ali Sadpara, son of late high-altitude mountaineer Muhammad Ali Sadpara, said on Thursday that it was impossible to bring the dead body of his father and other deceased mountaineers down from the bottleneck of K2.

In a video posted on his Twitter, Sajid said that while the bodies of the legendary Muhammad Ali Sadpara, Iceland’s John Snorri and Chilean Juan Pablo Mohr were retrieved, bringing them down from an altitude of 8,400 meters is not possible.

Sajid confirmed that his father and Snorri’s bodies were found at a difficult spot, therefore, he would try to shift them to the route towards the base camp and bury them there.

Sajid is accompanied by Canadian filmmaker Elia Saikaly and Nepal’s Pasang Kaji Sherpa during his search mission.

Gilgit Baltistan Information Minister Fateh Ullah Khan had confirmed on July 26 that bodies of Sadpara,, Snorri and Mohr had been found.

The three mountaineers were declared dead a few days after they went missing on February 5.
