A seven-year-old Texas girl has set a new record as the youngest female ever to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Montannah Kenney and her mom Hollie, a former professional triathlete, made the 19,000-foot hike over seven days.
Montannah's mom says they began planning the trip after hearing that an eight-year-old had climbed Kilimanjaro last year. She said it snowed and rained every day on the trail but Montannah never complained - she even said it was easier than she thought it would be!There's another reason Montannah made the climb - to honor her late father. Hollie says reaching Kilimanjaro's summit "put my daughter in the clouds closer to where her dad is".
She says the world-record climb sets Montannah up to so some "pretty amazing things" in life.
