Not wise. A young child should not be deprived of oxygen like that. There are warnings for kids not to go atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii. And it is only a little more than 14000 feet.

Depends on elevation of her village. She maybe use to living in a higher elevation area.

As much as this is a good question it should of been date stamped as the answer could change.

Only recently there have been numerous reports of casualties and the huge amount of garbage these very selfish people, who do what they do for their own aggrandizement, have left behind. Anyone wanting to put others lives at risk for their own glorification is tantamount to a criminal causing possible death.
