25 جنوری بروز پیر کا سورج پاکستان کے لیے ایک اور اعزاز کا دن ہوگا – جب میں اور میرا بیٹا ساجد علی بغیر کسی آکسیجن کے کوہ پیما کو سرد موسم میں سر کرکے عالمی دُنیا میں پاکستان کا نام روشن کریں گے.

More About K2 Mountain Range

K2 is the last of the world’s 14 tallest mountains, all higher than 8,000 meters, to be scaled in wintertime.

It is in the Pakistani portion of the Karakoram range along the Chinese border and is known as the world’s most dangerous and technically challenging peak.

The peak was first climbed in 1954 by Italian climber Achille Compagnoni. So far, 86 climbers have lost their lives trying to climb K2, while only 450 climbers have managed to summit it before today.
