LONDON: The world renowned Pakistani mountaineer Nazir Sabir gave a talk on his K2 and Everest climbs and the mountain heritage in Pakistan at Pakistan High Commission, London on 23 November, 2011.
Nazir Sabir while speaking on the occasion said that the north of Pakistan is a paradise for the mountaineers of the world and needs special global attention to facilitate the climbers around the world to benefit from this opportunity. The neglect of such facilities he said would give room to anti-social elements to exploit the poor and vulnerable population of the region. Secondly, this neglect amounts to denying the climbers and lovers of this sport the opportunity to attempt the most challenging mountainous region on earth, he added. There is need he emphasised to develop and improve the infrastructure around this region to attract and facilitate the climbers.
In his enthralling hour-long presentation embellished with stunning imagery Nazir Sabir explained the unique details of the 1977 expedition to K-2 covering its geology, sociology and history. He also briefed the audience of his success to reach the highest mountain of the world Mount Everest in 2001.

It goes without saying that Nazir Sabir is a well-known mountaineer who earned the fame for Pakistan by climbing the most difficult mountains on Earth – the K2 and the Mount Everest. He is the only person in the Northern Areas who kept the mountaineering alive particularly in the prevailing situation of Pakistan. I fully agree with his views to patronize the mountaineering in Gilgit-Baltistan so that the new generation should not be spoiled in the hands of anti-social elements.
