The team started their extra ordinary journey to the top on 28th July and took a total of 8 days to wave the Pakistani flag from sky high. There was a time when the top seemed almost like a lifetime away but all of the members stuck to the task and helped each other to the top. For them, playing on their lives wasn’t even a problem since all the mighty eight wanted was to see how the world looks from the top and that they most certainly did.
