Peshawar: A nine-member team of mountaineers from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has successfully summited the 6, 050-metre-high Thalo Zom Peak.
According to official sources on Tuesday, Thalo Zom is one of the most challenging and least-frequently climbed peaks in the Hindu Kush mountain range.
After an arduous eight-day expedition, the team successfully reached the summit and hoisted the national flag.
The mountaineers traversed the difficult routes of Kumrat and Chitral, crossing glaciers and snow-filled crevasses to complete the climb.
Sources added that Thalo Zom was first climbed in 1971 by an Australian mountaineering team.
