Karachi: Pakistani mountaineer and Karachi Kings’ Adventure Ambassador Asad Ali Memon became the first person from Sindh province to scale Mount Everest – the world’s highest peak – located in Nepal.  Memon conquered the 8849-metre-tall peak on Friday at 7:51 AM (PST) and became one of the four Pakistanis to successfully summit Everest this season after Sajid Sadpara, Naila Kiani and Nadia Azad. Taking to Instagram, the mountaineer shared details of his ascent along with a photo in which he could be seen standing at Everest’s pinnacle holding the country’s flag. bKarachi Kings and ARY Digital Networks congratulated Memon on his astounding feat. “We congratulate Asad for his exceptional resolve and sportsmanship and wish him well for future,” wrote ARY in a social media post. The 24-year-old, also a student at a private university in Karachi, aims to summit seven highest peaks in seven different continents of the world.

He is currently the youngest Pakistani to have climbed the highest peak outside Asia, Mount Aconcagua in Argentina, and the highest European peak Mount Elbrus in Russia. Last year, he ascended Mount Denali, North America’s highest mountain.

The young mountaineer also holds the record of becoming the first Asian and Pakistani to climb the 16,893 feet Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania in less than 24 hours in the year 2021.
