Pakistani Saad Munawar became first Pakistan mountaineer to summit the Mount Everest,the world’s highest peak at 8,848 meters, from its northern face.
Saad official Facebook page confirmed the groundbreaking achievement, stating: “Saad waved the green crescent flag atop the world’s highest peak.”
This historic climb marks the first time a Pakistani mountaineer has conquered Everest from the challenging northern side, a route that originates in Tibet and is considered more demanding due to its harsh conditions and technical challenges.
Earlier this month, two other Pakistani climbers also accomplished notable achievements, showcasing the country’s growing prominence in the world of high-altitude mountaineering.
Saad’s triumph not only brings immense pride to Pakistan but also inspires a new generation of climbers to aim for the highest peaks.
On Friday night, Pakistani mountaineer Naila Kiani reached the summit of Mount Kanchenjunga (8,586 meters), becoming the first Pakistani woman to climb 12 of the world’s 14 highest peaks above 8,000 meters.
