To go with story ‘Pakistan-mountaineering-women-climbing’ by Masroor Gilan
This photograph received from Pakistan Youth Outreach (PYO) and taken on May 19, 2013 shows Pakistani female climber Samina Baig (L) holding her national flag on the peak of Mount Everest, Nepal. The first Pakistani woman to climb Mount Everest says she wants her achievement to stand as an inspiration to all the women of her troubled country that they can achieve their dreams. Samina Baig last month became the first woman from the South Asian country to reach the 8,848 metre (29,029 foot) summit of the world’s tallest mountain, after a gruelling expedition in rough weather.
