Inspired by their grandfather, famous mountain climber Little Karim, 3 teenage girls from Pakistan made history. 13 year-old Amina Hanif, 14 year-old Maryam Bashir, and 15 year-old Siddiqa Batool scaled the nearly 20,000 foot Manglessar peak, in the Karakoram mountain range. Their grandfather climbed with them, and wants to encourage more women in Pakistan to take up mountaineering.
