A two-year-old British boy is thought to be the youngest person ever to reach Everest Base Camp. Ross Dallas took son Carter to the mountain’s southern campsite, which is located 17,598ft above sea level. Each year, around 40,000 trekkers reach South Base Camp in Nepal, with just 800 people attempting to scale the entire 29,031 foot mountain annually. It is thought Carter is the youngest person to have reached South Base Camp. The family-of-three reached the base camp on October 25.
