Pakistani mountaineer Sirbaz Khan has made history by becoming the first Pakistani to conquer all 14 of the world’s 8,000-meter peaks, placing him among the elite high-altitude mountaineers globally.
His latest triumph came with the successful ascent of the 8,027-meter Shishapangma, marking his 14th “eight-thousand peak.”
This remarkable achievement further solidifies Khan’s standing as one of the world’s most accomplished mountaineers.
It should be noted that he summited 11 of these peaks without supplemental oxygen, showcasing his extraordinary skill, endurance, and determination.
Hailing from the Hunza Valley, Khan began his mountaineering journey in 2017 with the summit of Nanga Parbat, the 8,126-meter “Killer Mountain.” Since then, he has taken on some of the world’s most formidable peaks, including K2, Lhotse, and Mount Everest.
