The climbers,
Kyle Dempster and Scott Adamson, were attempting to summit the
6,960-metre (22,835-feet) Ogre-II peak in the Karakoram mountain
range but did not return when they were expected to, said Karrar
Haidri, a spokesman for the Alpine Club.
"Families of both the climbers are in contact with the local
tour operator," Haidri said.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. embassy in Islamabad said it was
aware of the case and was also in touch with the climbers'
families.
