Boy, 6, conquers UK's 12 highest peaks for charity
A six-year-old boy has climbed the UK's 12 highest mountains, the equivalent of scaling Mount Everest , for charity.
Having already scaled Scafell Pike and Snowdon, respectively the highest peaks in England and Wales, Oscar Burrow made it to Ben Nevis 's summit at 13:00 BST.
The Boy from Lancaster, who has raised More Than £31,000 for Derian House Children's Hospice in Chorley, wants " poorly children to Go On holiday".
Oscar told dad Matt he now wants " to be the youngest person to climb Everest".
Mr Burrow said he and his son had set off about 08:00 " in glorious sunshine" and had hugely enjoyed The Final leg of their journey.
Speaking ahead of his final climb, Oscar said: " It's the biggest mountain in the UK and there might be snow on The Top . "
Oscar was given a special award by staff at Derian House, which provides respite and end-of-life care to More Than 400 children across the North West of England, as a Thank You for his Hard Work .
" I got a very special badge and I want to take it to school, " He Said , adding: " I want poorly children to go swimming on their holiday. "
Oscar spoke of many favourite moments during his challenge.
" (When I did Helvellyn in the Lake District ), I almost blew off and grandad and daddy had to hold on to me" He Said .
Oscar said he liked climbing Glyder Fawr , in Snowdonia, because " it was really steep and you have to climb up sections with your hands".
He added that he found climbing Cairn Gorm , in Scotland, the " hardest" because of The Deep snow.
" We made a giant snowball bigger than me and rolled it down The Hill ! "
Mr Burrow said: " Oscar has always been active, he plays rugby, swims, rides [a] bike, he has this crazy endurance and never ending energy.
" He had been learning about Sir Edmund Hillary , one of The First men to conquer Mount Everest , in school and decided that he wanted to be the youngest to ever conquer it, " said Mr Burrow, 38.
" I explained to him why this might be a little bit tricky, but I didn't want to dash his dreams, so we came up with a plan to climb the highest mountains in Great Britain . "
Oscar has also been accompanied on his quest by his 37-year-old mum Kim, and grandad Mark, 67.
His three-year-old sister Ada has also made several appearances.
Kerry Pritchard, from Derian House, thanked the " courageous superstar".
" Oscar is very brave and we've been enjoying seeing photos of him at The Top of each mountain. "
