Pakistani mountaineer Shehroze Kashif has become the youngest mountaineer to summit Nanga Parbat. Nanga Parbat is the 9th highest mountain peak in the world and is included in the world’s 14 8000-ers peaks. Nanga Parbat scales up to 8,126 metres.
Kashif is also the youngest mountaineer in Pakistan. The young mountaineer is on the record to scale the 14 highest peaks in the world. He earlier summited K2 in Pakistan. He also scaled Everest, Kangchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu, Manaslu. He also scaled Broad Peak located in Pakistan.
Shehroze Kashif aims to become the youngest mountaineer in the world to summit all the highest 14 peaks in the world. He intends to summit five more peaks this year. But he fears he will not be able to reach his goal due to a lack of support from the government.
In his next plan, he aims to summit Gasherbrum I and Gasherbrum II. Last year, Shehroze Kashif made history as he became the youngest mountaineer in the world to summit K2, the world’s second-highest peak on Tuesday, 27th July 2021.
Congratulations Shehroze Kashif @Shehrozekashif2 for your successful summit of Nanga Parbat.
