Pre-school climber, Augustine of Vaiala Beach School, flexes 4-year old muscles in celebration of hiking all the way to the top of Mt. Vaea this week.

World famous writer, Robert Louis Stevenson, lies on top of the mountain.

His tomb is seen in the background behind the proud, triumphant youngster, who earned his own share of fame by making the climb at his tender age.

He started his morning hike from the hill bottom, at the Vailima track, and huffed it all the way to the top.

He is seen (photo inset) wobbling back down on his descent, tired and ready for a deserving, cold ice-cream.

Malo Augustine.
