By Jayita, Gaea News NetworkSaturday, May 22, 2010
Its a hilarious achievement by a wonder boy named Jordan Romero. Romero has reached the peak of Mount Everest at the age of 13 and thereby broke the previous record of Temba Tsheri of Nepal. He scaled the world’s highest peak at the age of 16.
In the expedition Romero had been accompanied by his father, his coach and stepmother, Karen Lundgren and three Sherpas. Romero started for the peak from the base camp situated on the Chinese side of the mountain.
Romero, born on July 12, 1996 is now planning for crown seven summits that means climbing highest peaks on all seven continents.
We congratulate Jordan Romero and also wish him all the good luck for his future ventures.
