Mountaineer Murad Sadpara, 33, has lost his battle for life on Broad Peak, leaving behind three young children.

Renowned climber Naila Kiani has confirmed the news. She had requested the army to send four climbers from Skardu to Broad Peak’s "Crampon Point" to rescue Sadpara.

The Army helicopter transported two porters yesterday and two more this morning for his rescue. The team will now attempt to bring his body back to Skardu with the help of the helicopter.

According to reports, Sadpara, along with a Portuguese female climber and a Sherpa, was returning from the summit when he slipped at an altitude of around 5,000 meters. Another report suggest that he received serious injuries due to a stone hitting his head.

Sadpara was leading the K-2 cleanup expedition this year. He brought the body of Hasan Shagri, who had died last year, from the extreme height of K-2, to the base camp and handed it over to the family. Murad had also brought down the body of an Afghan mountaineer from camp 3 of K-2 last year.
