A baby is seen crawling up the stone steps of a mountain path using both hands and feet.

A woman, presumed to be a guardian, is following closely behind.

This scene was captured at a mountainous tourist spot in Hubei Province, China.

Although the child is wearing knee pads, it still raises concerns about potential injuries.

According to the father, the baby started crawling at 6 months of age and learned the technique well enough to climb stairs alone by around 8 months.

He explained that after seeing the child frequently climb stairs around their neighborhood, he decided to attempt a mountain hike as well, wanting to give the child an opportunity to move freely and release energy.

However, as the video spread, voices criticizing the parents' parenting style and expressing concern for the child's safety continued to emerge.
