10-Year-Old Pakistani Girl Becomes the Youngest Person to Summit a 7000m Mountain
Pakistani girls can do whatever they want if they're determined! Kudos to Selena.
A Pakistani girl named Selena Khawaja is reported to the youngest person ever to summit a 7000m mountain. She’s known as the ‘Mountain Princess’ and she stood at the peak of Spantik mountain on Wednesday.
Mountain Princess is now 10 year old, this morning she becomes the youngest climber ever in the world to summit any 7,000 by scaling the 7,027 metre-high Spantik peak. Selena, we’re super proud of your courage & dedication at such a young age…. #TalentPakistan https://t.co/bdeD3lBAkL

She is the youngest mountain climber and has achieved other records as well such as 5000m and 6000m climbing. In June last year she climbed the Mingli Sar and she also climbed Quz Sar Peak. She holds world record of both as she’s the youngest in the history to ever climb a mountain.

She aspires to climb the world’s highest peak i.e the Mount Everest which stands at 8,848m high. She’s determined to climb that and if she is successful then she’ll be the youngest ever to summit the Mount Everest.
She is truly an inspiration for all the other youngsters as she portrays that nothing is impossible if you work hard enough to achieve it. She is a role model for everyone. We hope the best for Selena and hope that she reaches new height! Yes, that is pun intended 😉
Nevertheless, we hope that she breaks records and makes us all proud as a nation.
