A Pakistani mountaineer says an investigation has been launched into the death of a Pakistani porter near the peak of the world’s most treacherous mountain.
Children of Mohammed Hassan, a Pakistani porter who died on July 27 during a summit of K2, hold a portrait of their father and grandfather at his home in Tasar, a village in the Shigar district in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan, Saturday, Aug. 12, 2023.
The footage showed dozens of climbers passing a gravely injured Hassan instead of coming to his rescue, Steindl told The Associated Press on Saturday. He alleged that the porter could have been saved if the other climbers, including Harila and her team, had given up attempts to reach the summit. “There is a double standard here. If I or any other Westerner had been lying there, everything would have been done to save them," Steindl said. “Everyone would have had to turn back to bring the injured person back down to the valley.”
At some point, she and another person from her team decided to continue to the top while another team member stayed with Hassan, giving him warm water and oxygen from his own mask, the climber said. A childhood friend, Basharat Hussain, said Hassan had been determined to provide opportunities for his children that he never had, including an education. “He used to say ... ‘all my life I had to suffer, I had to work hard, I am working hard to give my children a good education’,” Hussain told AP.
