6 Year Old Girl Conquers North Africa’s Highest Mountain

Sep 14 2024

Six-year-old Seren from Carmarthenshire has become the youngest girl to climb Mount Toubkal, the highest mountain in North Africa, raising money for Birmingham Children’s Hospital, which saved her life as a baby.

Seren was born prematurely with a haemangioma on her neck, affecting her airways, and underwent surgery at the hospital. Now, she and her father Glyn are raising funds to support the institution by completing challenging climbs.

In mid-August, Seren and Glyn flew to Morocco and embarked on an eight-hour trek in 40-degree heat to the base camp of Mount Toubkal.

The next day, they reached the summit after a tough hike. Seren received applause from about 20 people who had followed her journey on social media. Although Seren humorously claimed she trained for “a week,” Glyn clarified that their preparation included a year of training, including night hikes up Pen y Fan in Wales.

Seren previously became the youngest person to complete the UK’s three peaks challenge in under 48 hours.

She and Glyn now plan to climb Mont Blanc, with Seren excited to see the snow. Glyn, a mountaineer, encourages Seren’s passion for climbing, but notes it cannot be forced.
