The crude story of the last person who saw Juan Pablo Mohr alive, the star of Chile who disappeared 8,000 meters above sea level

Pakistani authorities on Monday suspended the helicopter search for three climbers due to bad weather lost contact with his teams on Friday while trying to climb K2, an expedition that has already claimed the lives of two climbers this season.

The search operation for Chilean Juan Pablo Mohr, Icelandic John snorri, and the Pakistani Ali Sadpara, deployed by the Pakistani army, “has been canceled for now. The authorities will decide whether to take it back tomorrow or not, ”Pakistan Alpine Club president Abu Zafar told EFE.

The climbers had left the camp early Friday morning to take advantage of a window of good weather to attempt to reach the summit at K2 (8,611 meters). However, hours later, teams from Mohr, Snorri and Sadpara were unable to contact them and their GPS locators stopped giving signals, so on Saturday the search for the adventurers began by helicopter.

Juan Pablo Mohr is an outstanding athlete who, since 2017, seeks to reach the 14 eight thousand, that is to say the 14 peaks of our planet which exceed the altitude of 8000 meters.

On Monday, two helicopters flew over 7,000 meters for the third day in a row and traced the trail of the missing climbers, expedition leader Chhang Dawa Sherpa, who is participating in the rescue, reported on Facebook on Facebook.

Today “we had less visibility and the top of the mountain is covered in clouds. Over the past three days the drivers have done a great job, beyond their limits, but we can’t find any leads there, ”Sherpa explains.

“The team is waiting for favorable weather to allow research,” he added.

Low life expectancy

The three climbers were also accompanied by Sajid, son of Ali Sadpara, who was with them in the so-called “bottleneck” at 8,200 meters, but had to give up and return to Camp III due to a problem with its regulator.

Sajid Sadpara said: “On the night of February 5th, we started our ascent to the top of K2. My dad told me to use the oxygen in an emergency, but when I used the mask, I realized the regulator was leaking, which made it useless “, he began to say in a conversation with local media.

Sajid waited for them for hours at Camp III to help them on their return, but eventually, exhausted, he returned to base camp. “I’m sure they made it to the top, and on their return they may have encountered a problem or an accident,” Sajid said in a video statement released yesterday.

For this reason, Sajid had to return to Camp 3, while Mohr and his companions were at ‘Bottle Neck’, 400 meters from the summit: ‘My father’s team did not have a walkie-talkie, so they could not be contacted. When I arrived at C3 I contacted the CB to tell them that I would stay at C3, and thus prepare tea and water for them when they came down from the summit ”.

Peak conditions and low temperatures put research operations against the clock, because “after three days of winter, your chances of being alive are close to zero,” Sajid said.

The disappearance of the three climbers comes after the success obtained on January 16, when 10 Nepalese, including nine from the Sherpa ethnic group, best known for their skills as carriers, made the first winter ascent to K2.

The expedition, which began at the end of December, claimed the lives of Spanish climber Sergi Mingote in January, after a fall, and Bulgarian climber Atanas Georgiev Skatov due to a break in the safety rope.
