IoBM's Asad Ali Memon is ready to take on Mount Everest
By climbing several of the world's highest peaks at the age of 23, Asad Ali Memon, a student at the Institute of Business Management (IoBM) in Karachi, has made waves in the mountain-climbing world.
Having received support from IoBM and other corporations, Asad is now aiming for the highest peak in the world: Mount Everest.
Asad became the youngest Pakistani to climb Europe's Elbrus in 2019, followed by the highest peak in South America, Aconcagua, in 2020. He then continued on to climb Africa's highest peak, Kilimanjaro, in just 20 hours, making him the first Asian and only Pakistani to do so. Asad became the youngest Pakistani and only the third Pakistani to climb North America's highest peak, Denali, in 2022.
He plans to climb Mount Everest in April 2023 with the goal of reaching the highest peak on every continent. In addition, he intends to reach the North and South Poles unaided and climb all fourteen peaks higher than 8,000 meters.
