Pakistan's Shehroze Kashif became the youngest climber of the world to summit 12 peaks of above 8000-metre height today after he successfully ascended Nepal's Mount Dhaulagiri, the seventh highest peak of the world.

In a statement secretary Alpine Club of Pakistan Karrar Haidri said Shehroze's determination, courage, and passion for mountaineering have enabled him to achieve this incredible feat.

He currently holds two Guinness World Records for being the youngest to climb K2 and the youngest to climb Broad Peak. Shehroze summited the world's fourth-highest peak, Mount Lhotse in Nepal yesterday.
