Condolence Message
It is with profound sorrow and a heavy heart that I extend my deepest condolences on the tragic loss of most accomplished mountaineers in the devastating avalanche on Broad Peak (8,047m) in the Karakoram.
This heartbreaking tragedy has deeply saddened the entire mountaineering community of Pakistan and around the world. The loss of these courageous climbers, who came from different nations united by their passion for the mountains, is an immeasurable loss to the global mountaineering fraternity.
On behalf of the Alpine Club of Pakistan, I express my sincere sympathies to the bereaved families, friends, expedition organizers, and the mountaineering communities of all the countries affected by this tragedy. We stand in solidarity with them during this time of immense grief and pray that they find strength, courage, and comfort to bear this irreparable loss.
I also pay tribute to the Pakistan Army Aviation and other elements of Pakistan Army, Government of Gilgit Baltistan departments, Nepali government, high-altitude rescuers, Sherpas, local climbers, and all those who participated in the search and recovery operation under extremely difficult weather and terrain. Their courage, commitment, and selfless efforts reflect the true spirit of humanity and mountaineering.
The mountains inspire us with their beauty, but they also remind us of the immense risks faced by those who venture into the high Himalaya and Karakoram. The legacy of these mountaineers will continue to inspire future generations with their courage, determination, and love for the mountains.
May Almighty Allah grant eternal peace to the departed souls and bestow patience and strength upon their families and loved ones.
