History made as Pakistani climber Asad Memon completes Seven Summits challenge

LAHORE (Dunya News) - Pakistani mountaineer Asad Ali Memon has made history by completing the prestigious Seven Summits challenge, successfully scaling the highest mountains on each of the seven continents — a feat accomplished by only a select few climbers worldwide.

Asad reached his final summit at the Carstensz Pyramid, the tallest peak in Oceania, located on New Guinea Island, marking the end of a remarkable seven-year journey that took him from the icy slopes of Antarctica to the rugged mountains of Asia.

In an emotional video message from the summit, Asad declared: “I am standing on the highest peak of the seventh continent. The mission that began seven years ago is now complete. I have raised my flag and proudly say Pakistan Zindabad!”

With this feat, Asad not only fulfills a personal ambition but also inspires a new generation of Pakistani climbers to reach for the world’s highest peaks — and beyond.
