Gilgit Baltistan, 19 July, 2023 (GNP): In an extraordinary display of courage and determination, Pakistani mountaineer Sajid Sadpara, son of the legendary mountaineer Ali Sadpara, successfully summited Broad Peak, the world’s 12th-highest peak, on Wednesday.
Notably, Sajid scaled the 8051-metre peak without relying on supplementary oxygen or Sherpa support, making a single push from basecamp. With this achievement, he has now climbed all five eight-thousanders in Pakistan without the aid of any supplemental oxygen.
