Pakistani authorities confirm that rescue personnel are finalizing logistical arrangements to retrieve a deceased mountaineer from the challenging Spantik mountain.

A rescue team has resumed its trek on Spantik peak to recover the body of Pakistani mountaineer Dr. Asma Mushtaq, who died while descending the 7,027m peak.

Mountaineer Asma Mushtaq, 34, died after suffering a medical emergency while descending Spantik, a high-altitude peak in Pakistan's Karakoram range, shortly after successfully reaching the summit.

Rescue teams have recovered the body of Pakistani mountaineer Dr. Asma Mushtaq on Spantik Peak nearly ten days after she perished during a climbing expedition. Her remains were found at high altitude following extensive search efforts in the remote mountain range.

Four women mountaineers from Gilgit-Baltistan, joined by a Romanian climber and a male mountaineer from Punjab, successfully summited the 7,027-meter Spantik Peak without high-altitude porters.

Authorities have located the body of Pakistani mountaineer Asma Mushtaq beyond Camp III on Spantik Peak and are finalizing arrangements for its safe recovery and controlled evacuation to base camp.

Efforts to retrieve the body of Pakistani climber Dr. Asma Mushtaq, who died descending Spantik Peak, have been suspended due to heavy snowfall in Gilgit-Baltistan's Shigar district.
