Ain't no mountain high enough for this kid

A 6-year-old Tibetan boy earlier this month became the youngest person ever to climb the 5,454-m Siguniang Mountain in Sichuan.

According to the Siguniang Mountain Management Bureau, Wang Jie and his father began their ascent of the Ermei Peak in the Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture at about 7 am on May 1. They reached the summit about 10 am the following day.

The bureau made special mention of the boy's strength, saying that he carried all his own equipment, a weight of more than 10 kg.
