Overview
- A group of volunteers from Tissar in Shigar located and moved the body of Pakistani climber Sohail Sakhi on Thursday after weeks of searching on Broad Peak.
- The July 30 avalanche that struck Broad Peak cut contact with a 10‑member expedition led by Nirmal Purja and officials later said all 10 climbers had died.
- With Sakhi found, search teams have recovered eight of the 10 expedition members and two climbers remain missing as operations continue.
- The Alpine Club of Pakistan and Pakistan Army have coordinated recoveries and earlier airlifts to Skardu, but further helicopter removals are delayed until weather and snow conditions allow.
- The effort has drawn national grief, highlighted the central role of local high‑altitude workers in dangerous recoveries, and renewed calls for stronger rescue resources and training in Pakistan’s high mountains.
