LAHORE – Pakistan's young top mountaineer Shehroze Kashif has successfully summited Nepal's Mount Dhaulagiri.

At 8,167 metres above sea level, the peak ranks as the 7th highest in the entire world. As a result of climbing Dhaulagiri, Kashif is now the youngest mountaineer from Pakistan to have ascended all 12 of the world's highest peaks.
