13-year-old has high hopes to be youngest to scale Everest

A BOY of 13 is hoping to become the youngest to climb Everest.

Californian Jordan Romero will attempt the ascent to 29,035 feet with his father, an experienced climber who has helped train his son for top-level mountaineering.

When Jordan was only nine, a school mural of the world’s highest seven summits inspired him to want to climb them all.
