Sajid Sadpara Summits World’s Ninth Highest Peak Without Oxygen

Pakistani mountaineer Sajid Sadpara has accomplished a remarkable feat by reaching the summit of Nanga Parbat, the ninth-highest mountain in the world, without using oxygen support. He joined a team of climbers from Russia, Nepal, and Turkey to achieve this milestone. Sadpara shared the news on Twitter, and it was also confirmed by Seven Summit Treks, a mountaineering company in Nepal.

This climb is significant for other climbers as well. Kristin Harila and Sherpa Tenjen reached their 10th ascent of an 8,000-meter peak as part of the Fastest 14 Peaks project. Sophie Lavaud and Tunc Findik completed their journey of conquering all 14 peaks above 8,000 meters by scaling Nanga Parbat.

Sajid Sadpara, known for his previous achievement of summiting K2 at a young age, has now successfully climbed six peaks without using supplemental oxygen. In April this year, he also made history by ascending Mount Annapurna, the tenth-highest peak in the world, without oxygen assistance.
