Asad Ali Memon, a Pakistani climber who is stranded on Mount Everest, has reached out to Pakistan’s embassy in Nepal to request that they set up an airlift to Kathmandu.
On Friday, Mr. Memon successfully scaled the highest mountain in the world, but on the way down, he injured his hand.

Mr. Memon claims that when coming from Mount Everest, he slipped between Camps 4 and 3, hitting an ice screw and dislocating his hand as a result. He said that it took him three days to get back from the peak to base camp, which typically takes one or two days.
Mr. Memon persisted in the descent despite the dislocated hand, finishing it with one hand on Monday and arriving at base camp where he received medical care. Due to his injury, he stated that the only way for him to get to Kathmandu was via air service from the base camp, which is dependent on good weather.
In addition to his injury, the 24-year-old climber, who is a student at a private university in Karachi, achieved the distinction of being the first person from Sindh to successfully scale Mount Everest.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has approved the conferment of the civil award Sitara-i-Imtiaz on renowned mountaineer Naila Kiani in acknowledgment of her remarkable feat of summiting Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak.
Naila Kiani, a mountain climber, accomplished the achievement of climbing Mount Everest, which is 8,848 meters high and situated in Nepal. She is now the second woman from Pakistan to attain this milestone as a result of her success.
Similarly, Sajid Ali Sadpara made history by becoming the first Pakistani to summit Mount Everest without the aid of high-altitude porters or additional oxygen.
