Teghbir Singh, a six-year-old from Punjab, made history by becoming the youngest mountaineer to scale Mount Elbrus, the highest peak in both Russia and Europe, standing at 18,510 feet (5,642 metres). His achievement marks a significant milestone in mountaineering, given the physical and mental challenges posed by such an elevation. Teghbir’s accomplishment not only set a world record but also followed his earlier success in August 2024, when he became the youngest Asian to scale Mt Kilimanjaro. His achievements at such a young age showcase exceptional determination, preparation, and endurance in extreme conditions.
