Mountaineer Murad Sadpara meets accident on Broad Peak.
Mountaineer Murad Sadpara has met with an accident while trying to scaling Broad Peak and waiting for urgent assistance, The Asian Mirror reported on Sunday.
According to a report, fellow climber Naila Kiani and Murad Sadpara’s family have requested to the Pakistan Army for quick rescue.
The family has asked that the Pakistan Army dispatch four climbers from Skardu to Broad Peak Crampon Point to safely bring Murad Sadpara back.
Broad Peak is one of the eight-thousandths and is located in the Karakoram range, spanning Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, and Xinjiang, China.

In a social media post, Sajid said, “Broad Peak summited without the use of supplemental oxygen and assistance.”.
