A tot has become one of the youngest to conquer the UK’s tallest mountain at just four years old.
Millie Hart and her mum Rachel Woodhouse spent 10.5 hours on Sunday (11 Oct) making their way up and down Ben Nevis – which stands at 4,413 feet above sea level.
The little mountaineer, who started primary school in August in Glasgow, where the pair live, has been climbing one hill with her mum each month in 2026.

But Sunday’s achievement saw her reach Britain’s highest summit, and it was a breeze, as reported by What’s The Jam.
Mum Rachel, 29, said: “It was such an amazing day.
“Ben Nevis completed at four years old.

“It took 10.5 hours from start to finish.
“We walked 18km or 30,000 steps – but who knows how many steps her little legs took

“What an achievement for this little superstar.
“The determination, the little legs and the biggest adventure.
“We passed some others on the climb who said, ‘Well done, keep going’; Millie had her own fan club.

“It was Baltic at the summit.
“I thought Millie would be more tired, but she picked up at the top and nearly ran back down.
“She’s such a superstar – she’s an icon.
“I’m honestly so proud of her.”
Rachel, who is studying veterinary medicine, added that Millie is among the youngest to complete the climb.
She said: “From what I’ve seen, there’s maybe been a couple of four- and five-year-olds that have done it.
“But not many at all.”
She said she and Millie will continue their hill walks – but on smaller mountains for the time being.
