Pakistani climber Sirbaz Khan has etched his name into the annals of mountaineering history by becoming the first and only Pakistani to conquer thirteen of the world's highest 14 peaks, reported the 24NewsHD TV channel.

This remarkable achievement solidifies his status as a true trailblazer in the realm of high-altitude mountaineering.

Khan's latest triumph was his ascent of the majestic Cho Oyo peak, soaring to an impressive height of 8,188 meters.

Located in the Tibet region of China, Cho Oyo stands as the world's sixth-highest peak. He summited the peak without oxygen support, also becoming the first Pakistani to scale ten peaks above 8,000 meters without oxygen support.

 He had started his push from camp-I of the mountain a day earlier and he managed to reach the top on Monday.

The passionate climber now aims at scaling the Shishapangma peak of 8,027 metres, to complete his campaign of climbing all 14 highest peaks in the world.

In 2019, he became the first Pakistani to summit the world’s fourth-highest mountain at 8,516m in Nepal, and that’s without using supplementary oxygen.

Khan's unwavering dedication and prowess in the face of extreme challenges have earned him a place among the elite mountaineers of the world.
