Pakistan's mountaineer Asad Ali Memon is all set to climb the world's highest peak, Mount Everest between May 11 and 15.
Asad, the only mountaineer from Sindh, is currently at the base camp of the highest mountain.
"I have made full round of acclimatisation for my climb to world's highest peak Everest in last few weeks," Asad told GeoSuper.tv from Nepal.
"I am feeling good alhamdulillah and excited for the climb up. Now, it's time to make an attempt to ascend Everest. The climb is supposed to start in the next three days once the weather is improved Inshallah. So far, the weather is not ideal for climb and I am at base camp waiting for weather to get better," he added.
Asad aims to summit the highest peak in all seven continents. His journey of seven-summit started in 2019 when he became the youngest Pakistani to climb Europe’s highest peak Elbrus, followed by South America’s highest peak Aconcagua, in 2020. He then went on to climb Africa’s highest peak Mount Kilimanjaro in just 20 hours, becoming the first Asian and only Pakistani to achieve this feat. In 2022, Asad became the youngest Pakistani as well as the third from the country to climb North America’s highest peak, Denali.
