Our press releases this morning ❤
We are greatful to all of those participating in the search and rescue operations of our beloved John Snorri, Muhammad Ali Sadpara and Juan Pablo Mohr on K2.
Ali Sadpara, two other mountaineers missing on K2 declared dead. All three were strong mountaineers willing, able and with the courage to make history by standing on the top of K2 in winter conditions.
Based on the timing of the last known contact by John Snorri’s telephone we are confident that all three men made it to the top of K2 and as such something happened on the descent.
John’s Snorri’s family would like to extend gratitude to the authorities of Pakistan, Chile and Iceland for their devotion and efforts for finding our loved ones. There is no doubt in our minds that the extent of the search and the technologies used in the search were unprecedented and hopefully will improve the safety of future mountaineers around the world.

Update: Fixing Lines and Rope For C2 K2 By John Snorri:
Muhammad Ali Sadpara and Sajid Ali Sadpara have just arrived at camp 2 and it is -30 C. We plan to stay here overnight. It was difficult to climb from camp 1 to camp 2. There is massive blue ice and it is hard to pick the ice with the crampons. A lot of rocks collapsing towards us so we had to keep 100% focus. The crampons on my left foot got loose and fell off but we managed to save it and my jumar ascender was always freezing. Still, we are feeling good but really craving coca-cola.
We are aiming for the summit on Monday morning the 25th at 09:00 PKT. This ascent will be extremely challenging, we are planing for C3 at noon on Sunday, rest for short time then start our summit push at 18:00 PKT. Hopefully, all goes according to plan and we will have a successful summit. We are all excited and ready for this project of a lifetime.
John Snorri
Last Update from C3 K2 :
John Snorri, Muhammad Ali Sadpara, and Sajid Ali Sadpara are still in C3. The wind is strong so they are waiting and assessing the weather. Meanwhile, they will have some soup and gather strength.
