Abdul Jabbar Bhatti

Abdul Jabbar Bhatti is a Pakistani mountaineer and the former military officer who served in the Pakistani Army until he retired as lieutenant colonel. In 1985, he climbed Broad Peak, in 1986 Gasherbrum II, and later in 2012, he climbed Spantik. In 2017, he became the fourth Pakistani citizen, first oldest Pakistani climber, and the first mountaineer from Punjab to climb the Mount Everest.
Before climbing the Mount Everest, he went to France where he received mountaineering training from the National School of Mountaineering (ENSA). The recipient of military and civil awards, including the Pride of Performance, he was last seen climbing Mount Everest in 2017 which he completed in ninety days. 
He was widely criticized for not heeding to his Sherpa' Dawa Sange Sherpa advice and putting their lives in danger.
As they made their way towards the summit from the South Summit, the weather turned for the worse.Young Sange repeatedly asked his member to turn back but Bhatti kept refusing citing how much he had paid. Senior guides monitoring their situation told Sange to turn back, even if it’s just himself. Sange decided not to abandon him. They eventually reached the summit but collapsed on way back at 8600 meters. Sange gave his own Oxygen tank to Bhatty on their way down. They would have died but for the efforts of Sherpa Khangri Outdoor. Kees Brenninkmeyer Foundation approved financial support for Sange to undergo complicated reconstructive surgeries in Colorado.
