Mighty Quinn Young has become the youngest girl ever to scale all of Scotland’s 282 Munros - at the age of ten. The Inverness youngster has braved wind, rain and snow to scale all peaks in Scotland over 3,000ft - including many which have claimed the lives of climbers who have gone before.
Quinn’s final ascent of the remote Càrn nan Gobhar, west of Inverness, was one of 12 around Loch Mullardoch that she did in one weekend this month with dad Ian. The trip included a summit bivvy camp on Mullach na Dheiragain, with the final rock being placed on a cairn when Quinn was 10 years, three months and 13 days old.
Despite the conquest taking the best of ten years, the schoolgirl has pledged not to give up her climbing passion. She has already started repeating the conquest of highlights of her Munro bagging years.
