You are correct.
Yaşlı is used only with people (or things that are alive, like animals)
Eski is used only with objects (on non-living things)
As for ´genç dağlar´:
Old fold mountains are characterized by having stopped growing higher due to the cessation of upward thrust caused by the stopping of movement of the tectonic plates in the Earth´s crust below them. In ancient times they were extremely high but since have worn down almost completely by millions of years of weathering. In stark contrast Himalayas are continuously rising young fold mountains of today.

The growth process is still going on. On a geological timescale the Alps are a young mountain range, still developing: the Alps gain about one millimetre (0.04 ") in height every year. One can recognize a young mountain range by its high and roughly shaped tops.

You don´t have to thank me for this. It makes me happy to teach someone and it is cool when they learn something.
I DID read all the posts , thank you!
What I intended was to avoid misunderstandings! Since you did NOT say there can be exceptional situations, I added that these are exceptions and one cannot say yaşlı or genç for any object.
And thank you for explaining genç dağlar, I have not heard about it.
It makes me happy to make things clear.
