Gilgit: Pakistani mountaineer Shehroz Kashif has added another feather to his cap by becoming the youngest mountaineer to summit K2, the world’s second highest peak.
According to details, Shehroz Kashif has achieved the feat at the age of 19 years only. The news was shared on his official Facebook account.
Earlier in May, Shehroz had conquered the world’s highest peak Mount Everest and in the process set a world record of the youngest Pakistani to do so.
He had dedicated his achievement to Ali Sadpara, Pakistan’s most loved mountaineer who went missing along with two others while attempting to scale the world's second-highest mountain K2. Their bodies were later found on July 26.
Located in the Karakoram range, in part in the Gilgit-Baltistan, K2, at 8,611 is the second-highest mountain on Earth, after Mount Everest (at 8,849 metres).
