The Hunza-born climber embarked on this extraordinary journey to scale the world's 14 highest peaks in 2017, successfully summiting the notoriously challenging Nanga Parbat, standing at 8,126 meters.
Over the years, he has conquered some of the most daunting peaks, including K2 in July 2018 and Lhotse in May 2019, where he made history as the first Pakistani to reach the 8,516-meter summit.
“This extraordinary accomplishment demonstrates his unwavering passion and dedication to the sport of mountaineering,” Karrar Haidri, Secretary Alpine Club of Pakistan, said.
“Sirbaz has faced the most extreme conditions, from the perilous heights of Mount Everest to the mighty K2. Faced with freezing temperatures, treacherous avalanches, oxygen-depleted altitudes, and the constant threat of crevasses, he has repeatedly demonstrated his resilience and strength. His success not only represents personal triumph, but also serves as an inspiration to mountaineers worldwide.
“Sirbaz Khan's journey exemplifies the power of perseverance and meticulous preparation, cementing his place in mountaineering history.”
