Pakistani mountaineer Sirbaz Khan has made history by climbing Mount Everest without using supplementary oxygen. This incredible achievement makes him only the second Pakistani to ever do so. Sirbaz, who comes from Hunza, has set a new standard in the world of mountaineering with this latest accomplishment.
Sirbaz Khan is no stranger to challenging climbs. He is also the first Pakistani to have climbed 11 of the world’s highest peaks, each standing over 8,000 meters, without any oxygen support. In total, he has successfully scaled 13 such peaks during his climbing career, showcasing his remarkable endurance and skill.
Climbing Mount Everest without supplementary oxygen is a particularly challenging feat due to the extreme altitude and harsh conditions. Many climbers rely on oxygen tanks to help them breathe at such high altitudes. Sirbaz’s ability to reach the summit without this aid highlights his exceptional physical and mental strength.
Despite facing difficulties earlier in his career, particularly with his attempt to climb Shishapangma, Sirbaz has continued to push the boundaries of what is possible in mountaineering. His determination and resilience have earned him a place among the elite mountaineers of the world.
Sirbaz Khan’s latest success on Mount Everest not only adds to his impressive list of achievements but also brings pride to Pakistan. His accomplishments serve as an inspiration to aspiring climbers and demonstrate the heights that can be reached with dedication and perseverance.
