15-Year Old Boy Climbs 7 Summits!

Jan 272012

Jordan Romero, 15-years old of California, has successfully climbed all seven summits! Jordan and his parents climbed the last mountain, Mt. Castensz Pyramid in Oceania, on Christmas Day. The seven summits describe the highest point in each continent. Jordan planned his journey while admiring a seven summits mural at his elementary school. Jordan set a goal, made a plan, went on a journey, and accomplished a mission. It is amazing the affect that a simple mural can have on people. Children need to be exposed to geography to be able to take an interest and get excited about it. Jordan conquered Africa’s Mt. Kilimanjaro, Australia’s Mt. Kosciuszko, Europe’s Mt. Elbrus, South America’s Mt. Aconcagua, North America’s Mt. Denali and Oceania’s Mt. Castensz Pyramid. Jordan also earned a spot in the Guinness Book of Record for being the youngest to climb seven summits. Jordan is an awesome inspiration to kids and adults alike. Share Jordan’s story and plan an adventure of your own!
