Pakistani climber Salman Ateeque summits Mount Everest
ISLAMABAD: Renowned climber Salman Ateeque on Thursday successfully scaled Mount Everest, becoming the 13th Pakistani to reach the world’s highest summit.
Ateeque reached the 8,849-metre summit at approximately 11:39am during the active 2026 Himalayan climbing season, which has drawn hundreds of climbers from across the world.
Around 464 climbing permits were issued this season to mountaineers from 80 countries, with the largest contingents coming from China and India, said sources privy to the subject.
Ateeque was reportedly the only Pakistani climber to obtain an Everest license this year.
The climber, who has a professional background in electrical engineering and over two decades of experience in the telecommunications division, previously summited Mount Manaslu — the world’s eighth-highest summit — in Nepal last year.
