Alpine Club of Pakistan

The Alpine Club of Pakistan (ACP) is the national mountaineering organization of Pakistan, responsible for promoting and regulating mountaineering activities within the country. Recently, the ACP has been in the news due to a concerning incident on Broad Peak, one of the world's highest mountains located in the Karakoram range. The organization confirmed receiving reports of an avalanche that struck a ten-member international climbing expedition led by renowned Nepali mountaineer Nirmal Purja. Following the avalanche, all ten climbers have been out of communication and are feared missing. This event highlights the inherent dangers of high-altitude mountaineering and underscores the ACP's role in receiving and disseminating critical information regarding expeditions in Pakistan's challenging peaks.
