Kiddies Conquer Mountain

On the Welsh borders in 1976, two toddlers made the first unassisted ascent of the north face of this mountain. The younger child (equipped with  Mountain Wellingtons), and elder child (with emergency rusks and polo mints) took two and a half hours to reach the summit, and then posed for this historic photo.
This is where the witty caption should appear.










If you visit this mountain today you'll see a copper plaque on a concrete plinth commemorating this pioneering achievement.
