Mountaineer Shehroze Kashif aims to become the youngest person to climb every peak above 8,000 metres (26,247 feet)
LAHORE (PAKISTAN) – Pakistani mountaineer Shehroze Kashif faces sub-zero temperatures and biting winds in his race to scale the world’s highest peaks, but his biggest challenge is finding the money.
Kashif, 21, aims this year to become the youngest person to climb every peak above 8,000 metres (26,247 feet), all of which are in Asia, with five in Pakistan.
Summiting Everest set him back around $60,000, and climbing all 14 “super peaks” can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars –- funds that are especially difficult to raise in a country gripped by an economic crisis.
