Climbing mountains came as naturally to Sajid Ali Sadpara as walking does to most toddlers.
He was eight or nine years old when he started taking his family cattle up the mountains in his village Sadpara. At the age of nineteen, Sajid climbed K2, the world’s second highest mountain.
Son of Pakistan’s iconic mountaineer Mohammad Ali Sadpara, Sajid’s love for mountains, his fearlessness on lofty heights, his successful summiting of some of world’s highest peaks, and his determination to reach every one of the fourteen highest peaks on earth is the splendid legacy of his father to which he adds his charming uniqueness.
Ali Sadpara’s very tragic demise is Sajid’s lifelong grief but it is also his strength: his dedication to continue what his father devoted his existence to is his most heartfelt tribute to his father’s extraordinary life.
