K2, the second-highest peak on Earth, is located 8,611 metres above sea level. It is regarded as the treacherous and difficult summit in the entire planet.
2013 saw Baig ascend Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world, becoming the first Pakistani woman to do so and now becoming first Pakistani woman to summit K2.
