Can I climb Goatfell with a 1.1 meter tall, 3 and 1 half yo toddler on my shoulders most of the time? People often say he is big. He is neither wide nor slim. A bit bigger than peers. I’m 1.8 meters height. 140 kilo weight. I do 8*4 pull ups every other day. Not been running lately, but able to run 5k if no time limit. I carried my toddler half of the time on foot from Dunure Castle to Culzean Castle. It was about 2-3 hours walk on cliffs and sandy beach. If it’s too challenging, can start from Corrie, claim part of it, and go down toward Brodick Castle?

Goat Fell is challenging. People were doing it carrying children but they looked younger than yours. I dont know the walks you mention. We took the approach that we could stop anytime we thought it was too much...so you could give it a go...but not in high temperatures.
