Nine-year-old Lelio Massimo di Roccasecca, a resident of Rome, successfully climbed the 4,807-meter summit of Mont Blanc on September 4. Accompanied by his father, experienced mountaineer Valerio Massimo, the boy is reported to be the youngest person to reach the highest peak in the Alps through his own strength.

Following the ascent, the family celebrated at the Goûter Hut. Lelio, who began climbing at age three and previously climbed the Gran Sasso at age five, expressed awe at the views spanning Italy, France, and Switzerland. His father, who climbed Mont Blanc at age 14, noted that the achievement was driven by Lelio’s personal passion for mountains rather than a pursuit of records.

Recent reports confirm that Lelio has set a record as the youngest person to summit the peak. His father, Valerio Massimo, is noted as an experienced climber who has also summited Mount Everest.
