A 6-year-old British girl Ashleen Mandrick has changed into the youngest female to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. Her action amazed skilled mountaineers and guides as she climbed the highest mountain in Africa without any help.
She enjoyed her climb so much that two weeks later she climbed the Tanzanian peak again by taking a advantageous route, this time in freezing temperatures and high winds. Ashleen was accompanied by her mother Victoria Mandrick, 45, a health care provider, and 11-year-old brother Nicolas on the way of the climb. They were with her all the way.
Her first climb took six days while the second took only 5. Mrs Mandrick said that Ashleen broke the record held by American girl Montannah Kenney. She reached the summit at the age of seven years and ten months last year. The youngest person to climb Kilimanjaro is Colton Tanner from Contemporary Mexico. He reached the peak in October 2018 at six years, one month — a few months younger than Ashleen.
