A young Pakistani climber stretch to Mount Everest base camp.
Shehroze Kashif, a young Pakistani climber, arrived at Mount Everest base camp on Wednesday with his sights set on another 8-thousander, Mount Lhotse, at 8516 meters.
Last week, the 20-year-old mountaineer completed the world’s third-highest peak, Kangchenjunga, at 8,586 meters, and is now back on pace to complete the world’s fourth-highest peak.
Shehroze verified in a contact on Wednesday afternoon that he arrived at Everest base camp earlier in the morning and will attempt the Lhotse summit from there.
“This is my favorite base camp because you have all the amenities, and I am looking forward to beginning my summit push shortly,” he said in a statement.
Before climbing Mount Everest, K2, and Manaslu in 2021, the young mountaineer had already submitted Broad Peak in 2019.
He has also indicated that he will re-summit Manaslu, after Mingma G’s queries about the uniformity of numerous summits, including Sheroze’s, at Manaslu last year.
