7-year-old boy has climbed 14 mountains in Indonesia

7-year-old Arya has climbed 14 mountains in Indonesia, including Mount Semeru, the highest mountain on the island of Java when he was only five.

He is the youngest person ever to conquer those mountains.

Arya's father who is also a mountain climber, said that he used to carry him on mountain climbs when he was barely eight months old. And he was only three years old when he started to hike by himself and didn't want to be carried anymore.

Now, Arya is ready to climb more of the world's highest peaks.

He will celebrate the Indonesia's Children's Day on July 23 by attempting to climb Russia's Mount Elbrus, the highest mountain in Europe. He also plans to conquer Imja Tse, better known as Island Peak, an even higher summit in the Himalayas to mark Universal Children's Day on November 20.

Mount Elbrus will be Arya's hardest climb to date as the inactive volcano is considered the world's tenth most prominent mountain.

"His achievements can jolly well encourage other children to get involved in sports and fulfil their dreams!
