The rescue effort was prompted by a distress call from the stranded climbers, consisting of four British nationals, one Polish climber, and their local guide.
The climbers had encountered unexpected difficulties during their ascent on Concordia five days ago, compounded by rapidly deteriorating weather conditions. Additionally, all members faced severe breathing challenges during their expedition towards the peak.
Simultaneously, Pakistani authorities have initiated an investigation into the tragic death of a local porter. The porter had tragically fallen from a narrow trail while attempting to climb K2 last month. This incident gained significant attention on social media, prompting calls for a thorough and high-profile inquiry.

The investigation focuses on a crucial piece of footage that captured a Norwegian climber passing by Mohammad Hassan, the porter, who was suspended upside down from a rope and subsequently lost his life.
Iqbal Hussain, who leads the fact-finding committee, has outlined that the inquiry’s scope encompasses “mountaineering moral values.” A comprehensive report is anticipated within a span of 15 days, shedding light on the circumstances surrounding both the rescue operation and the porter’s unfortunate demise.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
