ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 1st Oct, 2021 ) :Mountaineer Sirbaz Khan added another feather to his cap when on Friday he successfully climbed Nepal's Mount Dhaulagiri 8167-metre, becoming the first Pakistani to summit nine out of the 14 eight-thousanders of the world, Alpine Club of Pakistan (ACP) said on Friday.
The 32-year-old Sirbaz is also the first Pakistani to summit the Dhaulagiri, Karrar Haidri, secretary ACP said in a media statement.
