He is the first Baltistani to have climbed all five eight-thousanders of Pakistan: K2 (8611m), Gasherbrum I (8080m), Gasherbrum II (8034m), Nanga Parbat (8126 m), and Broad Peak (8051m). He climbed all five without supplemental oxygen.
Career
He is he second Baltistani to have summited all 5x8000m peaks, after Mr. Nisar Hussain of Satpara village. Unlike most climbers from the West, who are equipped with state of the art climbing gear (and sometimes sponsored by multinational corporations), Hassan Sadpara started his career from a mud house with very few resources, and has climbed with whatever gear he could manage. He has worked as a porter for various expeditions, including ones led by Koreans and Poles.
Adventures:
In Jan 2009 he met with Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, along with fellow K2 climber Shaheen Baig, Nazir Sabir (president of the Alpine Club of Pakistan) and other officials.
