But the reality on the ground is completely different.

Foreigners who visit Pakistan often become emotional after meeting local people. They are surprised by the hospitality, kindness, respect, and love they receive from ordinary Pakistanis. From karachi to Hunza, chitral to Swat — tourists are amazed not only by the beauty of the mountains, but also by the hearts of the people.

Social media today is full of foreign vloggers showing the real Pakistan: peaceful valleys, beautiful culture, helpful locals, and unforgettable experiences.

Honestly, the natural beauty of Pakistan and the warmth of Pakistani people are hard to find anywhere else in the world.

Pakistan is truly a living nation full of life, emotions, and hospitality.

Pakistan Zindabad 🇵🇰 May Allah keep Pakistan safe and prosperous forever.

As always, it's great fun watching the climbers: here's a link to the finals livestream on YouTube.

Actually mainly I wanted to make this a Mo Beck appreciation post. >!Gold medal!< in her first international comp since 2023! Incredible.

Fun clip from rednote. Turns out this guy is one of the setter and Janja’s local guide. He said both Roman and he thought Janja would fall that way , that’s why he chose standing there.

PS: im joking, people are just joking online, they say something like “ you will never climber anything harder than v1” “pls delete your account and never show up again”, to this guy. Pls don’t downvote me if you don’t know the culture difference. I just wanna share something fun about the GOAT.

Gen was head setter from Meishan China Asian Champion.

Also from Rednote, this host from Outdoor magazine tried all 4 boulders, says he is a v4 climber (about v6 in US). They also said M2 is v13

saw this on rednote, feels need to share here. Total 3 IFSC (world climb series ) international setters , 3 local setters, 1 intern setter( women) , two forerunner (one of them is women).

I really enjoyed the knee bar saga today in Wujiang

I thought it was rope at first , but turns out Janja aimed a "hold" a inch away from the edge, don't know why, maybe it was blind spot. But she landed so accurately on the invisible hold like there were a crimp there, and even stayed for 2 frames on it...

This one no need to translate. Janja is so funny.
