Back on May of 2010, I posted about then 13-year old Jordan Romero's summit of Everest.
The post concluded:
The only mountain he has left is the Vinson Massif in Antarctica.From the Beeb:
US teenager Jordan Romero sets seven-peak recordJordan's website is here: Jordan Romero Nice to see some young people grabbing life by the teeth and not letting go... ever... Jordan is also doing a B.I.G. tour through the 50 states, climbing the tallest mountain in each state. I personally have done a few and did the tallest mountain in Pennsylvania in under 30 seconds. That would be 3,213' Mount Davis and is a rocky outcrop rising from a parking lot. WOOT! Other more serious climbs were Mount Kahtadin and Mount Washington. Both were fun slogs.
Jordan Romero, 15, reached the 4,897m (16,067ft) summit of Vinson Massif in Antarctica on Saturday, the final peak in a quest he began six years ago.
His team, which includes his father and stepmother, hope to complete their descent to base camp later on Sunday.
Aged 10, Jordan climbed Mt Kilimanjaro in Africa.
At 13, the Californian climbed the world's highest mountain, Mt Everest.
He called his mother, Leigh Ann Drake, on Saturday to confirm he had reached the top of Vinson Massif.
Jordan beat the record previously held by British climber George Atkinson, who completed the ascents at the age of 16 in May.
