Another Pakistani mountaineer scales Mount Everest
KARACHI, Pakistan – Young Pakistani mountaineer Abdul Joshi has scaled Mount Everest, the tallest mountain on Earth in order to become the country’s eighth climber to achieve it.
Joshi belongs to the Hunza valley of northern Gilgit-Baltistan region, which borders neighboring China. He was part of a 13-member team that summited the 8,849-meter (29,029 feet) mountain. His ascent to the summit was announced by Karrar Haidri, the secretary general of the Alpine Club of Pakistan, the country’s official mountaineering association.
It came just over a week after Sribaz Khan, another climber from Hunza, had reached the top of Mount Everest.
Joshi is the first Pakistani to summit 8,091-meter (25,545-feet) Annapurna, the 10th highest mountain in the world, in 2021.
He also led a 12-member Pakistani team to the first-ever summit of Passu Cones, Pakistan.
