Sirbaz Khan has made history as the first Pakistani mountaineer to scale all 14 of the world’s highest peaks, each towering above 8,000 meters.
The Alpine Club of Pakistan (ACP) confirmed his remarkable achievement on Friday, hailing it as a testament to his passion, perseverance, and dedication to the sport.
Khan, hailing from Aliabad in the Hunza Valley, Gilgit-Baltistan, faced some of the most extreme conditions known to mankind. From scaling the dangerous heights of Mount Everest and K2 to navigating treacherous avalanches and oxygen-depleted altitudes, his resilience and unwavering determination have earned him global recognition.
Khan's 14th and final summit was Shishapangma, located in Tibet, at an elevation of 8,027 meters. With this feat, Sirbaz joins an elite group of only 41 mountaineers worldwide to have completed this monumental task.
Since beginning his career in 2016, Khan has not only etched his name in mountaineering history but has also contributed to various volunteer activities. He dedicated his latest achievement to the late Pakistani mountaineer Muhammad Ali Sadpara, who had also inspired generations of climbers.
