LONDON (AFP) - A two-year-old toddler has stormed to the top of England's tallest mountain Scafell Pike, a newspaper said.

Elisha Smith, from York in northern England, is believed to be the youngest person ever to scale the 978 metre (3,210 foot) high summit, the Daily Mail reported.

 

Here's my favorite part:

 

Elisha's parents had expected to carry her up the mountain in the picturesque Lake District in the northwest.

 

But the biscuit-fuelled toddler left them stunned as she charged up the peak.

 

ROFL! :)

 

 

 

(Just a bit of friendly nose-tweaking to our friends across the pond! Don't kill me!)

Well Ben Nevis is actually quite tall but that's in Scotland, England is really pretty flat I guess.
