Jordan Romero, 13, has succeeded in his quest to become the youngest person ever to conquer Mount Everest. Jordan, his father and three Sherpa guides reached the summit on Saturday. Until then, the record for the youngest climber to scale Everest had been held by Temba Tsheri of Nepal who reached the peak when he was 16.
Jordan had already climbed the highest peaks on six other continents. He climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa when he was just nine years old. Only the Vinson Massif in Antarctica remains in Jordan’s quest to climb the highest peaks on each continent. He plans to leave for Antarctica in December.
