An Irish mountaineer, Alexander, has gone missing while descending the Musa Da Mussala peak in Siran Valley, Pakistan, during a day marked by treacherous weather conditions. The incident occurred on Friday, when he and a British national, Alun David Cooper Cledwyn, embarked on their ascent of the 13,500-foot-high mountain without acquiring the necessary permission from the police and other pertinent authorities.
Upon arriving at the Siran Valley resort in Mandachucha, they both spent the night together before embarking on their descent the following morning. The British climber successfully made his way back to the resort on Sunday. However, as of now, Alexander remains missing, according to Shahnawaz Khan, the Superintendent of Police Central in the region.
Khan, who spearheaded the search operation alongside five teams from various law enforcement agencies and Rescue 1122, expressed concern over the mountaineer's disappearance. He confirmed that the two had reached the resort separately, taking different routes due to the challenging conditions, despite the adverse weather conditions.
