Last month, renowned Pakistani mountaineer, Muhammad Hassan, lost his life in a tragic accident while conquering K2, the second-highest peak in the world.
The death of the Shigar-born climber is another shock to the mountaineering community in the country, following the death of the legendary Mohammad Ali Sadpara in 2021.
According to media reports, his fellow mountaineers bravely attempted to rescue the young climber; however, they were, unfortunately, unable to reach him in time.
In fact, the tragic incident also exposed the failure of the government authorities to respond promptly and rescue the national hero, who made the country proud.
It has been almost more than a week since the incident happened, but social media users are still divided over the actual reasons for the death of Muhammad Hassan.

So, there you are, struggling to hang on to dear life for 3 hours and then 30 "tourists" step over your body so they can continue to claim they've "conquered" K2 and accept their Guinness certificates. You should have been warned, Muhammad Hassan pic.twitter.com/tYZLWzNHVZ

What an absolute disgrace. The mountaineering 'community' should hang it's head in shame. A poor man inadequately equipped to take on the higher slopes of the mountain
