Besides, Shehroze also made a world record by becoming the Youngest Mountaineer in the world to summit the four highest peaks of the world i.e. Mount Everest 8849meter, K2 8611meter, Kanchenjunga 8586meter, and Lhotse 8516meter. Kashif has made more history by raising the green flag as the first-ever Pakistani on the peak of Kanchenjunga 8586meter.
Confirming the summit by 33-year-old Sirbaz Ali Khan along side Shehroze, his expedition manager Saad Munawar said the Hunzaite scaled Mt. Makalu without use of supplementary oxygen.
Last year in July, at the age of 19, Kashif scaled K2, the second-highest peak in the world. He summited the 8,611-metre high peak with the help of bottled oxygen. Before Kashif Shehzore, Sajid Sadpara, the son of the renowned mountaineer Muhammad Ali Sadpara, was the youngest one to have ascended K2 at the age of 20.
The passionate hiker first started his climbing journey at the age of 11, scaling the Makra Peak (3,885meter). Afterward, he aced Musa ka Massalah (4,080meter) at the age of 12, followed by the Chembra Peak (4,600meter).
Similarly, at 17, Kashif climbed Broad peak (8,047meter) receiving the title ‘The Broad Boy’, and reached the top of Khusar Gang-Alpine Style (6,050meter) at 18 years of age.
Currently, Shehroze is in Nepal and has accomplished his Expedition 3.4.5 by summiting Makalu 8463 meter with Sirbaz Ali.
