(Web Desk): Renowned Pakistani mountaineer Sajid Ali Sadpara has successfully climbed Dhaulagiri, the world’s seventh highest mountain, located in Nepal.
The 29-year-old reached the 8,167-metre summit on Saturday, May 10, without using bottled oxygen or the help of porters, marking a major achievement in his climbing career.
According to the Alpine Club of Pakistan, this is Sadpara’s ninth successful climb of a mountain over 8,000 metres — all done without supplemental oxygen and without support. This latest climb makes him one of the few elite climbers in the world with such a record.
Sadpara began his journey to Dhaulagiri on April 6, reaching the base camp and starting his acclimatization process. He climbed as high as Camp 3 before returning to base camp to rest and prepare for the final summit push. He was part of a four-member Pakistani expedition team that set out on May 4.
The final summit attempt began on Friday, May 9, from Camp IV at 6:15pm. The climbers, including Sadpara, fixed over 350 metres of rope in the final stretch of the climb, showing their teamwork and determination. The team reached the summit at 9:35am on Saturday, according to Seven Summit Treks, the company that organized the expedition along with Sabroso Pakistan. His technical gear was provided by outdoor brand Kailas.
This successful ascent was the first confirmed summit of Dhaulagiri for the spring 2025 climbing season. The climb was especially challenging due to high altitude, cold temperatures, and the need to fix ropes along the way.
