They say there is no help in the death zone but sometimes there is:
Lukas Wörle from Austria gets high civilian award from Pakistan for his life-saving actions on Broad Peak in 2023.
Murtaza Sadpara (Pakistan), who worked as a high altitude porter, fell ill with high altitude sickness at 8000m. When Wörle discovered him (alone), Sadpara was conscious but couldn't tell him his name. Wörle shoved, pulled, and rappelled him down. Halfway down on the way to camp 3 he came across Dan Buonome (USA) and another porter, they provided medication and oxygen [Was not able to find the name of this porter].
Wörle and Buonome brought Sadpara down to Camp 3. Sadpara survived and lost several fingers to severe frostbite. He had not been able to afford oxygen or high-quality gloves. He says his clients lost sight of him while others accuse them of leaving him behind.

I often remark to friends about #Pakistan 's mountainous north being unsuitable for life now thanks to #ClimateChange induced melting, flooding, and landslides.

The #Karakorum #Highway the world's highest such motorway connecting Pak to #China should be thought of a "seasonal" road now, gets washed away on an annual basis, sometimes more frequently.

We cannot afford to rebuild every year!

...with its former capital, #Karakorum.

The #European parts will probably be reunited with Europe, culturally and economically speaking.
In between? Warlords, I guess.

This is why I'm also gravely concerned about the eventual Fall of The House of #Putin aka the #RussianFederation. When the #SovieetUnion collapsed, many arms went "missing."
Also, the civilian use of nuclear energy can eventually lead to atomic weapons, as #NorthKorea and #Iran have shown.

Ich hätte eine fast neuwertige #Vaude #Karakorum #Fahrradtasche zu verkaufen. Sie ist geschätzte 5-7 Jahre alt, ist aber glaub ich nur eine kleine Tour gefahren und daher wie neu. Zubehör ist so weit ich sehe vollständig, Regenhülle ist dabei. Preisvorstellung wäre 75€ VB, bevorzugt an Selbstabholer in #Rheinberg.

Die Tasche ist ein absolutes Raumwunder und hat tolle Qualität. Irgendwie bin ich mit Ortlieb aber eher warm geworden, darum zu schade zum einstauben.

Während die Norwegerin Kristin #Harila ihre umstrittene Gipfelsammlung komplettierte, starb der pakistanische #Hochträger Mohammad Hassan. Der Tiroler Wilhelm #Steindl war vor Ort und zeichnet ein erschreckendes Sittenbild
