Kim Jong-Un climbs North Korea's highest mountain
... allegedly
2,750-metre Mount Paektu - in his suit.
It was also revealed that KJ-u could drive an automobile by the time he was three years old.
And his old man, KJ-i scored 11 holes-in-one the first time he ever played golf.
Just surrender now, world.

...and was dealt with.

:? KCNA and the article said he visited the place, nowhere did it say he climbed it. He said 'To climb' the mountain provided a source of mental strength, but I gather it's a mistranslation given the context of his visit - a speech to air force officers. They probably didn't climb their way up.
He did drive at an early age. Jong Nam (loyal man) grew up totally sheltered and piloted various powered kiddie cars around government house. Bizarre exaggerations generally come from The ROK, like the golf story.
You of all people would know the importance of Korean myth, fairy tale and miracle, particularly that mountain. Loyalty, piety and virtue play a massive role in their view of history and in every story there's a kernal of truth.

"Climbing Mount Paektu provides precious mental pabulum more powerful than any kind of nuclear weapon," the Rodong newspaper quoted him as saying to troops.
Does climbing mean
not climbing?
lol

precious mental pabulum
That speaks more to more to mental strenth, not that he literally climbed the mountain. Remember, it's standard practice in any written medium for the headline to be written by a thid party to grab your attention, not the actual author of the article. They rarely have anything to do with each other.
