Muhammad Ali Sadpara (Urdu: محمد علی سدپارہ; (1976-02-02)2 February 1976 – February 2021)[2] was a Pakistani high-altitude mountaineer. He was part of the team (which included Italian alpinist Simone Moro and Spanish alpinist Alex Txikon) that completed the first winter ascent of Nanga Parbat in 2016.[3] Throughout his career, Sadpara successfully climbed a total of eight eight-thousanders, four of which he ascended in a single calendar year.[4]
Sadpara, along with his 21-year-old son Sajid (who had also climbed K2 in 2019), teamed up with Icelandic mountaineer John Snorri Sigurjónsson[5] and Chilean mountaineer Juan Pablo Mohr Prieto[6] for a joint ascent of K2, and left the highest camp on the evening of 4 February 2021. Sajid was later forced to descend due to an oxygen regulator malfunction,[7] leaving the other members of the team at the K2 Bottleneck, close to the summit. Sadpara, Sigurjónsson, and Prieto continued their ascent to K2's summit, but did not return by night as planned, and were declared missing on 5 February 2021.[8][9] A rescue mission with two Pakistan Army helicopters was organized on 6 February 2021 to search for the team.[10][11][12]
On 18 February 2021, Pakistani authorities announced that the three men were officially presumed dead, but the search for their remains would continue.[13][14] Sadpara's family also declared him as presumably dead on the same day.[15] On 26 July 2021, three bodies believed to be of the missing mountaineers were found on the slopes above Camp 4.[16][17] Sadpara's body was found around 300 meters (980 ft) below the K2 Bottleneck.[18] The bodies were found by a Madison Mountaineering Sherpa Team that was fixing ropes above the camp.[19] Sajid then retrieved the bodies of the three missing climbers including his father.[20]

The three climbers were last seen on Feb 5 near the Bottleneck on K2 as they attempted to reach the summit of the Savage Mountain. Sajid Sadpara, who was accompanying the three, had to abandon his summit bid after his oxygen regulator malfunctioned and he returned to camp 3.
