The body was being hauled down to Skardu with the use of ropes and sophisticated equipment, the official said.
Sadpara Mountaineering Club volunteers also took part in the search mission.
Four senior members of the club took part in the operation, club chairman Ghulam Muhammad Sadpara told Arab News.
“Our climbers assisted with the rescue early Saturday morning and the team was able to locate the body,”
