Qudrat Ali wants to tell every mountaineer out there how proper equipment can save their life.

He wants everyone to know that sometimes when you are climbing, things can go completely opposite such as losing your camp to harsh winds or ending up with malfunctioning gear due to cold.

Last week, he completed the first phase of his mission by sleeping for 13 hours in cold temperature. According to Qudrat Ali, the temperature was —18 degrees Celsius when he set his sleeping bag at 6 p.m. It turned to – 21 when it was around 12 a.m. at midnight.

Qudrat will be spending his night at the Shimshal White Horn BC which is located at an altitude of 4000 meter. The temperature at this spot is expected to go as low as -31 degrees. Qudrat will spend 12 hours in the freezing cold.
