18-month-old becomes youngest to reach Everest Base Camp

Eighteen-month-old Australian Lucy Brown, her parents and her 65-year-old grandmother completed the gruelling trek to Nepal’s Everest Base Camp (5,364m), in November last year.

“It was a pretty special experience,” Lucy’s father Scott Brown said. “[We] definitely didn’t take it lightly, put a lot of training into it … there was, I guess, some risk but it ended up working out well.”
