Nazir was under tremendous psychological pressure when he reached the Everest Advance Base Camp, as nine climbers had perished on Everest in a single day in mid May 1997 due to strong and high winds.
In spite of the perils of climbing at night, NazirSabir, to avoid the strong winds, decided to continue his ascent utilising the moon light; pushing himself to the limits.
NazirSabir would remain a beacon of hard work, struggle and courage for all those who venture into the domains of rugged high altitude and put themselves to the hazardous and perilous occupation of mountaineering.
