#NangaParbat update (05.03.2019)
Search operation for two missing climbers is underway. Search party comprise Alex Texikon, M.Ali Sadpara, Felix Criado and Rehmat Ullah Baig. The weather is fine and the plan is to reach camp 3 and search the area. 
Yesterday climbers searched the area up to camp 2. No traces of missing climbers were found. It was also reported that the rescue team witnessed two avalanches on their way which forced them to get back to their operational field.

*Nanga Parbat Winter Expedition Rescue:* The rescue team led by Alex Txikon searched the Mummery Spur from Camp-I to Camp-III to locate Daniele Nardi and Tom Ballard today. Unfortunately no sign of climbers was found. It is said that a drone operated by Ignacio de Zuloaga was extensively used as well to facilitate the search mission but couldn’t be of much assistance.
On the south-eastern side of Mummery Spur, we are observing intermittent avalanches. Given the change in weather (warmer temperature), the probability of avalanches is getting higher. All ground search is being undertaken on the Mummery Spur, but avalanche risk is increasing every day.

Given the features of the ridge as well as avalanche risks associated, a small miracle is now required to find the missing climbers alive even though optimism still runs high.

The rescue team is descending now and the search would carry on tomorrow.
