Base Camp on July 17. On Thursday, they started their journey from Camp Two to Camp Three.

Gasher Boom Two. A few months after the birth of the child, he surprised people by conquering
a peak higher than 8,000 meters.

Who is Samina Baig?
Samina Baig belongs to Shamshal area of Hunza district in Gilgit-Baltistan where many people
are mountain climbers.
Samina Baig was fond of adventure from her childhood, but this was the era in which
mountaineering in Pakistan was completely dominated by men, but Samina Baig was lucky that
her family did not hinder her in this passion Rather encouraged them.
Samina Baig conquered Mount Everest in 2013. On this occasion, his brother and famous
mountaineer Mirza Ali was also with him. Apart from this, Samina Baig had conquered seven
major peaks of the world in 2014/15.

a return trip, but this year he resumed his unfinished expedition.

mountaineers who conquer high peaks, this peak is considered more terrifying than Everest,
the highest peak in the world.
One out of every four climbers who attempt to summit this peak die. The death rate on K-2 is
29 percent, in contrast, the same rate on Everest, the world's highest peak, is 4 percent.
