Naila Kiani from Islamabad & Samina Baig from Shimshal, Gilgit Baltistan, both have become the FIRST EVER Pakistani women to summit the SECOND HIGHEST Peak in The WORLD!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That is absolutely CRAZY!!<\/h3>\n

Just Imagine. Climbing the second highest peak in the WORLD. It\u2019s literally like being on TOP of the WORLD. You\u2019d feel like you\u2019re the KING.<\/p>\n

\"Proud<\/a><\/p>\n

No one can fathom what it would be like to be there. It\u2019s a feeling indescribable by anyone and only those who have felt it, can feel it. It\u2019s like love, you can\u2019t explain it, but you can only feel it.<\/p>\n

What an achievement to have in your life, to be able to climb and summit K2. It\u2019s one of the scariest things one can do in their lives and people like Naila and Samina are an inspiration to every person in the world.<\/p>\n

The list of mountaineers who summited the peak also includes Wajid Nagri, Steffi Troguet, Sirbaz Ali, and Kristin Harlia. It was nighttime when they started to push for the summit and reached the top around 8 in the morning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why did they climb the mountain at night?<\/h3>\n

You might be wondering WHY on Earth did these guys start to push for the summit at night? Isn\u2019t it dangerous? Out there in the open sky under no lights and blistering winds, climbing without any full fledge visual is a very hard thing to do.<\/p>\n

But since there is a lot of snow over the mountain, the climbers climb at night. During the day, the snow becomes very soft as the Sun comes up. At night time, the snow becomes hard and stiff. So it\u2019s only at night that the mountaineer shoes can stick and give a better grip over the terrain which is already undulating, elevated, and impossible to climb.<\/p>\n

As the people made the impossible possible, they were congratulated with rounds of applause from all around.<\/p>\n
