8-year-old adventurer makes it 17,598ft up to the foot of Everest

- JEREMY ARMSTRONG

BASE CHAMP...

SCHOOLBOY Frankie McMillan has made it to Everest base camp and yesterday declared he was over the moon about his feat.

The eight-year-old has been climbing with mountain guide mum Basia since he was a toddler and dreams of conquering the world's highest summit.

He even has a picture of the peak on his bedroom wall.

His dream came closer as he made it to base camp, which is 17,598ft above sea level in Nepal.

As the Mirror revealed last month, Frankie had warmed up by becoming the youngest Briton to climb 9,573ft Mount Olympus in Greece.

The intrepid youngster has tackled more than 500 mountains and hills, including England's highest peak, 3,208ft Scafell Pike, when he was four.
