Mountaineering: another feat
July 30, 2021
When only 13, Shehroze Kashif had set himself a dare to “summit Everest and K2 at all costs”. It took Kashif, now 19, just six years to accomplish the feat of scaling the two topmost peaks of the world and that too while smashing records. When Kashif scaled Mount Everest about two months back, he became the youngest Pakistani to summit the world’s tallest mountain. And last Tuesday, the young man from Lahore became the youngest person in the world to reach the summit of K2, the world’s second-highest peak, with the aid of bottled oxygen. Accomplishing the twin feat while still in his teen shows the determination and commitment as well as the passion the superhero has displayed, doing the whole nation proud.
