Boy, 13, aiming to conquer Everest
At the age of 13, Jordan Romero is heading to Mount Everest in an attempt to become the youngest person to scale the world’s highest mountain – and complete his goal of climbing the highest peaks on all seven continents.
The teenager from Big Bear, California, was busy today with his father Paul and stepmother Karen packing mountaineering gear and planning details of their expedition with three Sherpa guides who will accompany them.
