Samina Baig became the first Pakistani woman to scale
Mt. Everest on Sunday morning. She did so in the company of Indian twin
sisters, among others.
Samina Baig (22), a native of Shimshal village deep in the Karakorum range in Upper Hunza, was accompanied by her brother and guide Mirza Ali (29) on the climb. The attempt began as an event to commemorate the first successful expedition to Mt. Everest, on May 29, 1963, by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.
