In an incredible display of courage and determination, Sirbaz Khan has become the first Pakistani mountaineer to conquer all 14 of the world's peaks above 8,000 metres, the Alpine Club of Pakistan (ACP) said on Friday.
"This extraordinary accomplishment demonstrates his unwavering passion and dedication to the sport of mountaineering," Secretary of ACP Karrar Haidri said in a statement.
Sirbaz has faced the most extreme conditions, from the perilous heights of Mount Everest to the mighty K2. Faced with freezing temperatures, treacherous avalanches, oxygen-depleted altitudes, and the constant threat of crevasses, he has repeatedly demonstrated his resilience and strength.
