Pakistani mountaineer Sajid Ali Sadpara successfully summited 8,167 metres high Dhaulagiri, the world's 7th highest mountain, without supplemental oxygen, the Alpine Club of Pakistan (ACP) said on Sunday.
According to ACP Secretary Karrar Haidri, this extraordinary accomplishment was made possible with the support of Seven Summit Treks Nepal and Sabroso Pakistan, with technical climbing gear proudly sponsored by Kailas. "It is a proud and historic moment for Pakistan and the global mountaineering community," he added.
In Feb 2021, Sajid's father Muhammad Ali Sadpara went missing while attempting to summit the K2.
