Two friends from Lancaster aged six and seven have conquered the highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales in less than 48 hours.
Oscar Burrow and Ollie Perkins completed the National Three Peaks Challenge in 45 hours and 50 mins climbing 3,039 meters (nearly a third of the height of Mount Everest) and walking 21.4 miles.
Ollie also recently backed his friend Oscar on his epic 12-peak challenge around the UK, raising almost £40,000 for Derian House Children's Hospice.
The St Wilfrid's Primary School, Halton pupils were supported as they took on Snowdon in Wales, Scafell Pike in England and Ben Nevis in Scotland by their dads Matt Burrow and Paul Perkins, and Oscar's grandfather Mark.
Matt said afterwards that it was a "fantastic achievement for a six and seven year old".
"Lesson we all learned, you can make your legs go up Ben Nevis even if they don’t want to!" he said.
"Thanks for everyone’s amazing messages over the past three days, it gave us the motivation and courage to keep going."
The team set off to Gwynedd, Wales, from Halton on Wednesday and climbed Snowdon in the early evening. Then they travelled to the Lake District to tackle Scafell Pike on Thursday afternoon, before a trip to Lochaber, near Fort William in Scotland, to finish by climbing Ben Nevis on Friday morning.

Oscar previously climbed Ben Nevis in May, to complete his 12-peak challenge to raise money for Derian House.
He also scaled Inglebrough, Whernside, Old Man of Coniston, Helvellyn, Skiddaw, Blencathra, Snowdon, Glyder Fawr and Scafell Pike, Cairngorm and Stob Dearg supported by family and friends including his mum Kim and dad Matt, grandad Mark, little sister Ada, and Ollie and family.
Oscar's story captured the imagination of the country, making the national newspapers, radio and television - and he has been interviewed by famous TV presenters including Helen Skelton and Dan Walker.
