A young mountaineer who last week scaled the second-highest mountain on earth, says he felt a “sense of achievement” as he stood atop the K2 summit and hoisted the Pakistani flag.
Pakistani mountain climber Shehroz Kashif, 19, gives an interview to The Associated Press, in Skardu, a town in the Gilgit Baltistan region of northern Pakistan, Sunday, Aug. 1, 2021. The young mountaineer who last week scaled the second-highest mountain on earth, said Sunday he felt a “sense of achievement” as he stood atop the K2 summit and hoisted the Pakistani flag.
“I faced a lot of difficulties, I had no porter along and carried all gadgets and luggage by myself,” Kashif told The Associated Press in an interview. He said he received a lot of help fromi Sherpas, however. Sherpas are known for their endurance at high elevations and often serve as guides for foreign mountain climbers.
Kashif said the mountaineering management in Pakistan cooperated with him to make his climb a success and he said his parents were grateful, too. He said he experienced a sense of achievement becoming the youngest mountaineer to scale K2. Kashif said he started mountaineering when he climbed a small peak at age 11 and then gradually moved on to greater heights.
