main source of livelihood in the region, and the area's youth also work as porters with
Western mountaineers and adventure tourists who frequent the region each year.

secondary school before moving onto climbing.

 Nisar Abbas, a local journalist and relative and friend of Sadpara from their village days,
describes him as being extraordinary right from his childhood."He had the physique and
the habits of an athlete, and was also good in studies. Given the family's financial
constraints, he moved to climbing in around 2003 or 2004”.
 He earned worldwide fame in 2016 when a three-man team he was a member of
became the first to summit Nanga Parbat in winter.
