The boy completed the climb on the back of his father Ross, with his mother Jade walking at her side. The youngest known person to reach Mount Everest base camp was apparently a four-year-old girl originally from the Czech Republic. According to her father, she climbed to base camp alone.
“Carter did better than me and his mother. “We both got a little bit of altitude sickness, but he was completely fine,” the father of the two-year-old boy told the Telegraph about the hike.

The boy completed the climb on the back of his father, Ross.
“There were two medics in the villages outside the base camp and they checked his blood to see if he was okay. His results were much better than ours – they were amazed. We bought jackets, food and two sleeping bags for the hike – basically on a whim. Within 24 hours of landing in Kathmandu, we were on our way,” he added.
The 35-year-old father says they were well prepared for the trip because they regularly practice “breathing techniques” and everyone, including Carter, immerses themselves in an ice bath. A family from Glasgow is currently on a year-long trip through Asia.
