The correct answer is Naila Kiani. By May 2024, Naila Kiani became the first Pakistani woman to summit 11 peaks above 8,000 metres, a historic achievement that cemented her place as Pakistan's most accomplished female mountaineer[reference:0][reference:1]. Her ascents include all five of Pakistan's 8,000‑metre peaks—K2 (8,611m), Nanga Parbat (8,125m), Broad Peak (8,047m), Gasherbrum‑I (8,068m), and Gasherbrum‑II (8,035m)—alongside Himalayan giants like Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Annapurna, Manaslu, and Cho Oyu[reference:2].
Why Naila Kiani Is the Correct Answer
- Unmatched Record: She holds the record as the fastest Pakistani—male or female—to summit 11 of the world's 8,000‑metre peaks, accomplishing this in under three years[reference:3]. By 2024, no other Pakistani woman had come close to this number of high‑altitude summits.
- First Pakistani Woman to Summit All of Pakistan's 8,000ers: She is the first Pakistani woman to scale all of the country's 8,000‑metre peaks, making her the definitive answer to this question[reference:4].
Why the Other Options Are Incorrect
- Samina Baig: A pioneering mountaineer who was the first Pakistani woman to summit Everest (2013) and K2 (2022), and completed the Seven Summits[reference:5]. However, she has summited only a handful of 8,000‑metre peaks, far fewer than the complete set[reference:6].
- Uzma Yousaf: She made history as the first Pakistani woman to scale Spantik Peak (7,027m) in 2017[reference:7], but she has not summited any 8,000‑metre peaks, let alone all of them[reference:8].
- None of these: This option is incorrect because Naila Kiani has definitively achieved this milestone.
Hence, Naila Kiani is the only Pakistani female mountaineer who had summited all of Pakistan's 8,000‑metre peaks and set a global record by 2024.
