This impressive feat comes mere days after Naila Kiani made history as the first Pakistani woman to conquer Mount Manaslu. Notably, the accomplished climber Sirbaz Khan had also successfully ascended Manaslu earlier in the week, alongside Naila Kiani.
Mount Manaslu, often recognized as one of the world’s fourteen highest mountains, bore witness to the commencement of this exceptional journey on September 21, when these two remarkable climbers began their ascent from camp three.
Following their triumphant achievement, the couple received warm congratulations from fellow mountaineer Sheroze Kashif, who himself had recently conquered Manaslu. “Anum and Uzair, you’ve done it! What incredible news to wake up to! It’s truly an exceptional achievement,” he exclaimed on the microblogging platform X, formerly known as Twitter
