ISLAMABAD: Pakistani mountaineer Asad Ali Memon has successfully completed the highest peaks of all seven continents of the world, achieving a historic feat.
Asad Ali Memon completed the Seven Summits Challenge by climbing Indonesia’s highest peak, Puncak Jaya.
In 2019, he began his journey by climbing Europe’s Mount Elbrus, and in 2020, he climbed South America’s Aconcagua.
In 2021, he climbed Africa’s Mount Kilimanjaro, and in 2022, North America’s Mount Denali. In 2023, the mountaineer climbed Asia’s and the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest.
Earlier, Sirbaz Khan has made Pakistan proud by becoming the first Pakistani to climb all 14 peaks of 8,000 meters in the world, joining the elite ranks of high-altitude mountaineers worldwide, here on Friday.
His latest triumph came on Friday when he successfully scaled Tibet’s 8,027m peak Shishapangma without the use of supplemental oxygen.
This extraordinary achievement cements Khan’s place as one of the world’s most successful mountaineers, especially given that he climbed 11 of the 14 peaks without the aid of oxygen— A feat that speaks volumes for their skill, endurance, and determination.
Hailing from the Hunza Valley, Khan began his journey in 2017 by conquering Nanga Parbat, an 8,126-metre peak known as the “Killer Mountain”. Over the years, he has climbed some of the world’s most difficult peaks, including K2, Lhotse, and Mount Everest.
