While most schoolboys spent the summer playing in the sunshine, Oliver Burr was climbing very high.
More lives have been lost on the Matterhorn than on any other Alpine mountain. 2. He is considered
to be the youngest Briton to have conquered the 14,690 ft ice-capped peak on the Swiss-Italian border.
Oliver did not tell the guides leading the climb that he was three years below the normal minimum age, until
just before they set off. The sports-mad youngster satisfied them that he was fit and capable enough for the
expedition. He and his father Charles, 42, left the Hornli Hut base camp at 4am with an American climber
and three Swiss guides. 3.
‘It was pitch dark to start with and we had to use head torches,’ said Oliver yesterday. ‘It was quite scary.
4. I had been looking forward to the ice part, but it was frightening because there were big
drops and my arms weren’t long enough to reach the next ledge. When I got to the top I was absolutely
exhausted. 5. The views were amazing.’
Mr Burr said, ‘When Oliver came down he was treated like a hero. The guides said they had never known a
younger Briton to have climbed the mountain. We felt absolutely wonderful.’ Guide Kurt Lauber said that it
was a great achievement and added, ‘For a 13-year-old boy the Matterhorn is very hard work and a difficult
test of ability, stamina and fitness.’ Oliver used to go hiking and started mountaineering during Lake District
holidays with his family. 6. ‘When I saw a picture of the Matterhorn, I thought I would really like to
climb it because it looked so good,’ he said.
Next year Oliver plans to climb the 15,771 ft Mont Blanc before turning his attention to Kilimanjaro, Africa’s
highest mountain at 19,340 ft. In the meantime, he will return to King’s School, Macclesfield. There, he will have
little trouble with the traditional beginning of term essay on ‘What I did during the summer holidays.’
