In an incredible display of courage and determination, Sirbaz Khan has become the first Pakistani mountaineer to conquer all 14 of the world’s peaks above 8000 metres, Alpine Club of Pakistan (ACP) said on Friday. “This extraordinary accomplishment demonstrates his unwavering passion and dedication to the sport of mountaineering,” Secretary of ACP Karrar Haidri said in a statement.
