Twenty years ago, I had a dream that I would climb Kilimanjaro. On 13 July, 2022 at 11 AM, I summited the tallest free-standing mountain in the world, the Roof of Africa, Uhuru Peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, 5895m!! For the most part, Kilimanjaro has been easy — nicely laid out trails, gradual inclines, steady pace, trekking for no more than 6 to 7 hours a day. All great, save for Summit night which started at 11 PM. This was the most horrific experience of my life. It literally, felt like a page out of Dante's Inferno. There were so many real moments when I truly wanted to quit.

This is just in, Wasfia Nazreen and her expedition reached Goro 2 camp yesterday safely. In their current two and a half months of the arduous journey, they are set to climb Broad Peak for acclimatization before they attempt the infamous mountain, K2.

Wasfia Nazreen has won her stardom for being the first Bangladeshi in the world to climb the Seven Summits or the highest mountains of every continent. Being “the first” in many of her achievements, Wasfia will now attempt to summit K2 as a Bangladeshi.

Nepal has banned solo climbers from scaling its mountains, including Mount Everest, in a bid to reduce accidents, an official says.
