Jordan Romero becomes youngest ever to climb Mount Everest
31.05.2010
A 13-year-old boy has become the youngest person ever to climb to the top of the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest.
Jordan Romero
from Big Bear Lake in the US state of California arrived at the top of
the 8,848-metre-high-mountain in the Himalayas last week. He had
climbed the mountain with his father. And the first thing he did when
he got there was to call his mother. He told her, “Mom, I’m calling you
from the top of the world!”
Jordan has climbed the highest mountains in six of the seven continents, known together as the Seven Summits.
He plans to climb the seventh mountain, Vinson Massif in Antarctica,
later this year. You can read our interview with Jordan soon in Spot on magazine. Here he is talking to Britain’s ITN:
