Grand salute to our mountaineering heroes
What a splendid and heart-touching news to listen, read and watch over news media about scaling the world’s second highest peak — Pakistan’s K2 — in the winter season by a Nepalese mountaineering team led by Nirmal Parja, MBE, on last Saturday.
K2 is the only mountain in the world that had remained unclimbed in the winter. At 8,611 metres (28,251 feet), K2 is the most prominent peak on the Pakistani side of the Himalayan range, and the world’s second highest after Mount Everest.
They managed to make the impossible a possible with their endless effort and firm determination.
My millions of thanks to the government and people of Pakistan for extending their valuable support to our mountaineering team. Long live Nepal-Pakistan friendship. NEPALI POLITICS
Nepali climbers who scaled K2 in Pakistan recount success
ISLAMABAD: Nepali climbers who last week made history by scaling the world’s second highest peak — Pakistan’s K2 — in the winter season praised Pakistan’s military and civil authorities on Friday for facilitating their challenging expedition.
The leader of the 10-member Nepali team, Nirmal Purja, said he and his fellow mountaineers made “the impossible a possible.” He spoke in a video message after his meeting with Pakistan’s army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa in the garrison city of Rawalpindi.
