No idea if Kieran DS is the youngest person to do the winter assent of Ben Nevis, but aged 7 and 1 month he went up to the summit in February 2009. We took the Mountain Track to the summit ( and helped a lost adult called Hussain in the assent ).
Then with junior ice axe in hand, he glissaded over 1000m down Red Burn. saying "Dad, that's the best fun I've had in my life - ever!".
The day before he traversed Devil's Ridge on the Mamores (part of the Ring of Steall) and summitted on Sgurr a' Mhaim - his first 4000 foot peak.
He's off to play around and on Mont Blanc in August 2009.
Aged 6 and 3 months he did 11 of the Welsh 3000 footers in his first long weekend of mountaineering.

My 5 year old boy Jay Dickson climbed ben nevis on 15th July 2009, he went up unaided apart from some encouraging words from myself and his mother and his older sister aged 9, very proud of him, it took 9 hours and 20 mins start to finish with a short picnic break at the top. He enjoyed playing in the snow at the top! I wonder if this answers the question.
Last year aged four he climbed Goatfell in Arran, Scotland.
New Entry
My daughter Olivia was just turned 4years old when she marched herself to the summit of Ben Nevis having climbing to the summit of Snowdon the previous day. She achieved this completely unaided but had lots of encouragement from passers by and everyone enjoying the same experience.
previously at 3 years old she climbed Scafell pike (Lake District) and has thoroughly enjoyed climbing all three of the highest peaks.
New Entry - 25 August 2014
My grandson, Lucas Mazella, climbed Ben Nevis, totally unaided on 25 August 2014, aged 4yrs, 4mths and 21 days. It took him and the Templine team 9hrs in total and they raised over £500 for Diabetes 1 charity. Lucas' Mom suffers from tendonitis in her knees and had to abort her mission when her knees collapsed, but Lucas was not to be detered and continued his quest, joining people he barely knew to successfully stand at the top of Ben Nevis.
