Yeah, that'd be 13y.o(2004),Chris Harris :

'...The height of Christopher's ambition seems to know no bounds. His most recent conquest is Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. His ultimate goal is to be the youngest person to climb the seven summits, the tallest mountain on each continent, including the highest in the world, Mt Everest, which he hopes to climb next year. "My ultimate goal is to be the youngest person in the world to climb the highest mountain on each continent. And also to be the youngest person in the world to climb Mt Everest."
So where to next for this intrepid adventurer once he has tackled the tallest of them all?
Out of this world ... to Mars, no less, where the tallest mountain reaches 21 kilometres into the Martian sky. This final frontier is the sort of fantasy challenge Christopher Harris wants to take on some day...'
...................
He still hasn't climbed Everest , so the *Aus* record stands at 21...so Sabu etal are still in with a chance ... but ya better qurank-up ya financing&stair-climbing cos Chrissy might be dodging crevasses at base-camp right now .................... or high-jacking a Russian-rocket at some obscure central-asian-cosmodrome ...
