ISLAMABAD: In yet another major achievement, Sajid Ali Sadpara, the son of legendary mountaineer late Mohammad Ali Sadpara, scaled Nepal's 8167-metre-high Dhaulagiri mountain, the seventh highest peak in the world, without oxygen support.
Taking to his Instagram account, Sadpara announced: “Alhamdulillah, Dhaulagiri summit without oxygen and unsupported yesterday 10 May.”
According to Karrar Haidri, Secretary, Alpine Club of Pakistan (ACP), this extraordinary accomplishment was made possible with the support of Seven Summit Treks Nepal and Sabroso Pakistan, with technical climbing gear proudly sponsored by Kailas.
He said it is a proud and historic moment for Pakistan and the global mountaineering community.
In 2023, Sadpara achieved the unique feat of climbing the world’s highest peak Mount Everest without the support of supplementary oxygen and assistance from Sherpas in May 2023.
He is the first Pakistani to climb the world’s high peak without the aid of supplemental oxygen. It is pertinent to mention here that Sadpara has climbed all five eight-thousanders in Pakistan without any help of supplementary oxygen.
He successfully climbed Nanga Parbat without the help of supplementary oxygen and Sherpas in June 2023. He also summited K2 (8,611m), Gasherbrum-I (8,080m), and Gasherbrum-II (8,035m) in Pakistan, as well as Manaslu (8,163m) in Nepal, without supplemental oxygen.
