Mohd Khafiz Bachok became the second Malaysian mountain climber to conquer the second tallest mountain in the world after Mount Everest, known as - Mount K2 - which is located in Pakistan, to accomplish his dream of 25 years.
Mohd Khafiz, 45, from Pontian, Johor managed to reach the peak of the mountain, situated at a height of 8,611 metres at 11.52am local time , a climb regarded as the most dangerous and most difficult in the world.The manager of ZEROTO8000 mission, Rozaimi Mohd Said said Mohd Khafiz who had started his ascend from Skardu, took eight days to reach the Base Camp, but due to bad weather conditions, the process of acclimatization to high altitude rotations was started only on July 12.
According to Rozaimi, ZEROTO8000 reflects Mohd Khafiz’s mission which started at a height of 0 metre from Tg. Piai, Johor and headed to Mount K2 which is situated at a height of 8,000m and above and has since become a symbol for his own efforts and adopted by his family as well.
