Two-Year-Old Breaks Record as Youngest to Reach Everest Base Camp

Carter Dallas, accompanied by his parents, reached the base camp during their ongoing one-year trip around Asia.

Two-year-old Carter Dallas is believed to be the youngest person ever to reach Everest Base Camp, breaking the previous record held by a four-year-old from the Czech Republic.
Carter reached the base camp, which is located 17,598ft above sea level, on October 25, 2023, with his parents Ross and Jade Dallas.
The Dallas family, originally from Glasgow, Scotland, is currently on a one-year trip around Asia, during which they decided to undertake the Everest trek.
Despite the risks associated with the trek, Carter reportedly coped better than his parents, who both experienced slight altitude sickness.
The family's year-long journey has also included visits to Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Malaysia, and Singapore, with Carter developing a taste for exotic cuisine and learning about different cultures.
