Sajid Sadpara becomes First Pakistani to Scale 10th Highest Peak Without Oxygen
Sajid Sadapara, a Pakistani climber, made history by ascending Mount Annapurna, world’s tenth-highest mountain, without use of supplemental oxygen.
Sajid, on a mission to carry on his father, late great mountaineer Ali Sadpara, aspires to ascend highest mountains with his head held high.
His most recent accomplishment was validated today, Saturday, when he became first South Asian climber to scale an 8,091-meter peak without use of oxygen. He finished mission two years after his father and two other climbers died while attempting to climb K2 in the winter.
Sajid, who climbed deadly K2 at age of nineteen, was recently clicked at Annapurna which is located in Nepal and is notorious for its harsh climbing conditions as several climbers have lost lives.
Chhang Dawa Sherpa shared a tweet, felicitating Sajid for reaching the top of Mount Annapurna without using supplement O2.
