HUNZA, Sept 16: A 15-member expedition team comprising local women
scaled the Kuksil peak-II in Gojal, upper Hunza, on the Pakistan-China
border, said a press release issued here on Sunday.

The first all-women team from Pakistan, which had embarked on the
expedition on Sept 2, reached the summit of the 6483m Kuksil on Sept 9.

The team was trained and guided by two famous climbers from Shimshal —
Rajab Shah and Mehrban Shah. The expedition was organised by the
Ismaili Regional Council for Hunza as part of its celebrations on the 50th anniversary of the enthronement of Prince Karim Aga Khan as spiritual leader of the Ismaili Muslims.
