It is the ninth highest peak in the world and the second highest in Pakistan. At 8,126 metres, it is among the 14 summits that are higher than 8,000 metres.

Kashif’s team shared the update on his Instagram account.

Kashif is aspiring to the become the world’s youngest climber to summit all fourteen peaks higher than 8,000 metres.
