KARACHI:Renowned Pakistani mountaineer Naila Kiani has added another feather to her achievements as she became the first Pakistani woman to scale Nanga Parbat on Sunday. Naila Kiani was among a group of about 40 climbers including foreigners attempting to summit the Nanga Parbat, also known as the ‘Killer Mountain’ due to its high fatality rate.
The 8,126-metre mountain has a daunting and treacherous ascent along with the risk of unstable glaciers, avalanches and storms. Other Pakistani climbers in the group were Wajidullah Nagar and Samina Baig. Naila Kiani’s summit was confirmed by Secretary Alpine Club of Pakistan Karrar Haidri. “Today on July 2, 2023, at 10:18 am, Naila Kiani scaled the majestic Nanga Parbat, standing tall at an inspirational height of 8,126 metres,” Haidri said.
