Sirbaz Khan Becomes First Pakistani to Scale all 14 Highest Peaks in the world without oxygen support, becoming the first Pakistani to do so. The accomplishment happened on May 18, 2025, when Sirbaz stood triumphant on the summit of Mount Kangchenjunga at 8,586 meters, which is not only the third-highest mountain but also located in Nepal.
A Decade of Showing Perseverance
Thirteen years ago, Sirbaz Khan, born in the Hunza Valley, started planning expeditions to summit snow-capped mountains. Throughout almost ten years, he has shown strong willpower, determination, and skill, which led to this notable achievement.
A Big Moment in History
With no help from extra oxygen, Sirbaz has now joined the group of less than 25 people across the world who have successfully ascended the mountain. He has achieved something so great that it inspires other Pakistani climbers and positions him with the greatest high-altitude climbers worldwide.
According to Karrar Haidri, Secretary of the Alpine Club of Pakistan, only a few people in history have achieved what Sirbaz did by climbing all 14 eight-thousanders without oxygen. He is known for embodying Pakistan’s strength, ability, and bravery on the most challenging mountains.
Inspiring Future Generations
Sirbaz Khan become First Pakistani to scale all 14 Highest Peaks has always wanted to encourage a new group of climbers in Pakistan. He has dedicated everything he has done to Muhammad Ali Sadpara, a renowned Pakistani climber who died while trying to reach the summit of K2 in the winter of 2021.
Sirbaz’s climb from Hunza to the top of the highest peaks displays how brave and determined he is. His achievements will continue to motivate a lot of climbers, both inside and outside Pakistan.
