Following on from the recent success of the Pakistani women’s cricket team winning gold in the Asia Games [i] Mirza Ali (27) hopes to reach new heights partnering with his younger sister Samina Baig (20) to embark on the First Pakistani Women’s Winter Climbing Expedition. It is easy to be enthused by Mirza an experienced climber of several years as he counts down the days to the start of their adventure in the Karakorum planning the route and buying food supplies for the trip. He delights in the fact that a friend has donated a pair of men’s boots for Samina to use on her climb as unfortunately funding does not come easy and Mirza spends a lot of his time knocking on doors for sponsorship money.
