  7. Tribute to the heros who lost their lives not only during job but in struggling to save others. This atribution of our heros paves ways for others to follow the message of Quran which says “Those who saved one life have saved the humanity”. Though these martyards have lost their lives in saving others and thus have fulfilled the true message of God.

    Salam to them and their Families….. It is not only a lose of thier faimilties but is lose of the entire area

  8. The little-known Italian, Simone la Terra, had one other climbing partner for his attempt on 8125-meter Nanga Parbat via the Diamir Face, the experienced Pakistan mountaineer MEHRBAN KARIM. They reached the standard base camp on December 3 and established Camp 1 on the regular Kinshofer Route (ca. 3500m, Kinshofer-Low-Manhardt, 1962) at 6000m on the 10th in temperatures of -35 degrees C. However, strong winter winds caused a constant hassle and during the night of the 21st simply blew away their base camp kitchen tent with everything in it. At that stage la Terra decided to call off the expedition. The Diamir flank faces northwest and at the best of times only receives little winter sunshine: the team reported seeing the sun on only one occasion throughout their entire stay in December.

    The Italian mountaineer scaled Broad Peak this summer, and has chosen MEHRBAN KARIM, a strong Hunza climber, for partner on the upcoming Nanga Parbat attempt. Mehrban climbed Nanga Parbat in 2005 and has also scaled Gasherbrum II.

  10. The news of the tragic death of two of our brethren while mountaineering on the mighty K-2 has saddened me to the core. My heartfelt condolences are with the bereaved family.
    Mountaineering is a brave job; one is indeed prepared to risk everything to conquer the most enduring of nature’s challenges. Our two brothers and indeed all the other climbers who lost their lives have immortalized themselves in our history as well as the history of mountaineering. Every soul is born to die and death comes in a number form, shape and time, but the death of these Sons of our land and their tale of bravery would be remembered forever.
    I pray their souls rest in eternal peace and for the strength for the bereaved families to bear these losses. Amen
