Renowned Pakistani mountaineer Sajid Sadpara has successfully scaled Nanga Parbat, the ninth-highest peak, without the aid of supplementary oxygen, according to his official Twitter account.
In May, Sajid made history by scaling Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak, without supplemental oxygen or assistance from Sherpas, who are esteemed Nepalese mountain climbers. He became the first Pakistani to achieve this feat, fulfilling his late father Mohammad Ali Sadpara’s dream.
It is worth noting that Sajid, the son of the legendary mountaineer Ali Sadpara, aims to conquer all 14 eight-thousanders without the aid of supplemental oxygen. He has already summited K2 (8,611m), Gasherbrum-I (8,080m), and Gasherbrum-II (8,035m) in Pakistan, as well as Manaslu (8,163m) in Nepal, without supplemental oxygen.
Scaling the highest mountain without oxygen was not the only remarkable accomplishment for Sajid. In September of last year, he became the first Pakistani to achieve the true summit of Mount Manaslu, the world’s eighth-highest peak.
