Meet 4-year-old Zara Sifra who reached great heights and became the youngest person to climb the Mount Everest base

This 4-year-old has etched her name in history and overcome all trials to reach great heights, truly!

Reaching great heights is all we strive for. To achieve something great and be satisfied with it. It looks like Zara has literally reached great heights at the age of 4! Zara Šifra made history when she climbed Mount Everest base camp, becoming the youngest person to do so. She climbed the highest mountain peak together with her father David Šifra and her seven-year-old brother.

Achieving this feat is not easy. This is a tough task that requires a lot of physical and emotional investment. Mountain climbing itself requires strength. Facing such challenges, David Sifra reportedly kept a close eye on his children's oxygen levels.

According to a post shared by Sasa Jede on Instagram: “Zara climbed several five thousand peaks as part of the event. There was no problem during the march, the acclimatization went well above average, little Zara, thanks to her very good physical condition, even surpassed hundreds of other trekkers, who also started the vast majority of the climb from Lukla airport. It is necessary to emphasize that the conditions in hostels, in the so-called lodges, are very limited and they do not burn there, the bedrooms were sometimes below -10 °C.”

The climb to Everest base camp is not for the faint of heart, regardless of age. The treacherous journey, characterized by severe altitude sickness and the risk of fatalities, requires extraordinary physical and mental strength. Symptoms usually manifest between six and 24 hours after reaching an altitude of more than 3,000 meters above sea level.

Mount Everest is the highest peak in the world, reaching an astonishing height of 29,030 feet. The altitude poses significant challenges, making it imperative for climbers to acclimatize gradually to avoid altitude-related health problems.
