Dhaulagiri is infamous for its steep slopes and volatile weather, making it one of the most demanding climbs in the world. Sajid’s success reflects his unmatched endurance, expertise, and mental fortitude.
By climbing without oxygen, Sajid faced extreme altitude and harsh conditions relying solely on his physical preparedness. Going unsupported meant he carried all his own equipment and received no assistance during the expedition — an exceptional level of self-reliance in high-altitude mountaineering.
Previously, Sajid had already scaled Pakistan’s five highest peaks, also without the use of supplementary oxygen.
This latest triumph not only cements his legacy among the world’s elite climbers but also elevates Pakistan’s standing in global mountaineering. His journey continues to inspire aspiring climbers across the country.
