Sajid Ali Sadpara has climbed to the top of the 8,051-meter mountain Broad Peak located in the Karakoram range in northern Pakistan.
This is the eighth peak above 8,000 meters that Sajid has summitted in his mountaineering career and was the last remaining eight thousand meter peak in Pakistan that Sajid had not summited.
Sajid's team said that he had attempted the summit without any supplemental oxygen and as part of the lead for the Seven Summits Team of Nepalese Sherpa, Chhang Dawa. Sajid made the ascent alongside Russian Muslim climber Alina Pekova.
Their team said that contrary to the normal approach, Sajid and Alina climbed directly from base camp at 4,900 meters to camp III, located at a height of 6,950 meters.

They then made a push for the summit, which was another 1,100 meters.
Having summited on Wednesday evening, the duo are now making their way back to Camp III before climbing down to base camp later.
It is pertinent to mention that at this point, another Pakistani climber is currently aiming to summit broad peak, Naila Kiani, who is at Camp III.
In a statement, Alpine Club of Pakistan Secretary Karrar Haidri confirmed Sajid's summit.

"With this notable accomplishment, Sajid has now submitted eight 8,000-meter peaks without using oxygen, including all five of Pakistan's 8,000-meter peaks," he said, requesting prayers for Sajid's safe return.
Prior to the summit attempt, Sajid was part of a clean up mission on neighbouring K2. The cleanup was organized by Ali Sadpara Foundation and Seven Summits.
Late last month, Sajid summitted the 'Killer mountain', Nanga Parbat, without supplemental oxygen.
Sajid Ali Sadpara is the son of legendary Pakistani mountaineer Ali Sadpara who was among the first to summit Nanga Parbat in winter.
