Mountaineer Sirbaz Khan became the first Pakistani on Saturday to climb 10 of the world’s 14 highest peaks — each at a height of more than 8,000 metres — after he scaled the 8,586-metre-high Kanchenjunga mountain in Nepal, according to the Alpine club of Pakistan.
Sirbaz was part of a team led by Nepalese mountaineer Mingma Gyalje Sherpa (Mingma G) of Imagine Nepal.
According to the secretary of the Alpine Club, Karar Haidar, the climbers summitted the world’s third-highest peak at 7am on Saturday, with Sirbaz raising Pakistan’s flag upon completing his ascent.
In his recent communication from Kanchenjunga earlier today, he thanked the nation for supporting him and requested them to pray for his safe return.
Meanwhile, Saad Munawar, the organiser of the expedition, called it a moment of pride for the country.
