First Pakistani Women on Winter Expedition in the Karakorum: Mingligh Sar 6050m - December 2010After a successful joint venture of Pakistan Youth Outreach (PYO) and Satwa Guna to climb the 6400m, unclimbed peak, Chashkin Sar in the Shimshal, Maidur Village of the Karakorum, PYO is now planning another historical adventure in the extreme winter.

This winter expedition will be the first Pakistani woman’s winter expedition in Pakistan women adventure history. Samina Baig, who recently climbed the unclimbed peak, Chaskin Sar, and became the youngest woman mountaineer of Pakistan, will be the woman mountaineer from Pakistan. The other female member of the expedition will be Jennifer Rawlins, one of the top supporters of Pakistan Youth Outreach. Ms. Rawlins is from Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Also on the team will be Mr. Mirza Ali, team leader and founding president of PYO, Arshad Karim, Salamat Khan, Yahya Baig, and Yausaf Khan who will be the technical advisor. Mr. Yausaf Khan is also a veteran Pakistani mountaineer and former Army climber.

The team will climb Mingligh Sar, a 6050m peak, in the Shimshal Pamir of Pakistan, which has never been climbed before in winter.
