“We were on our way up the K2 mountain when I had to turn back 8,200 meters into the journey due to an equipment glitch. But my father was motivated and ready to continue.”

Ali said that his father was excited to become the first Pakistani to scale the world’s second highest mountain K2 in the winters.

"Before I left him that afternoon, he said, pointing to the mountains around him: God has given Pakistan a beautiful gift. Which is why we, Pakistanis, should be the first to climb this peak.”

It has been four days today. No one has seen my father since that day. He is up there somewhere, 8,000 meters high.

Ali said that he is still hopeful that his father would return.

“To be honest, I am still hopeful of his return. My father is a survivor you see. He always has been.”
