Eight year old Joshua LoCicero shows his Mt. Whitney permit, at Memorial Park in La Canada Flintridge on Saturday, Aug. 25, 2018. The La Canada Elementary School third grader reached the summit of Mt. Whitney, alongside his mother and five other hikers, on Saturday, Aug. 18, 2018 and is thought to me the second youngest person to make the 22-mile hike in one 24-hr. period. It took LoCicero 23 hours to complete the roundtrip trek. (Raul Roa / Staff Photographer)
