This remarkable feat was accomplished in Nepal, according to Karrar Haidri, Secretary of the Alpine Club of Pakistan. The final milestone came on Sunday when Sirbaz reached the summit of Kangchenjunga (8,586 metres) at 11:50 am local time. A native of Hunza Valley, Sirbaz began his journey in 2017 with the ascent of Nanga Parbat.

"When I started this journey after summiting Nanga Parbat, my goal was clear: all 14x8000m peaks without supplemental oxygen," he had said earlier during his Annapurna climb.
