**Sent under embargo, no use before 14.00pm BST August 3 2020** Jackson Houlding on his three day trip to climb Piz Badile. See SWNS story SWPLclimb; A toddler and his seven-year-old sister have smashed records to become the youngest mountain climbers to scale a massive 10,000ft peak and were given a reward - of Haribo. Freya Houlding, seven, and three-year-old Jackson were literally following in their professional climber father's footsteps as he led them up Piz Badile on the border of Switzerland and Italy. Dad Leo Houlding, 40, spends his working life climbing some of the most dangerous and most remote mountains on earth, and his wife, 41-year-old Jessica, a GP, is an avid climber too. And now Freya has become the youngest person to climb the mountain unaided, and Jackson the youngest person to get to the top - 153 years to the day since the peak was first climbed. Jackon says he enjoyed his climb - and the sweets he got as a well done.
