Youngest ever to climb Mt. Everest.

He climbed Mount Everest when he was 13 and Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa when he was 9. Do you think you could do that? This kid certainly has the guts to do it. I couldn't imagine myself climbing Mt. Everest when I'm 30.

Don't be foolish. Do you think I wrote that whole news story just to trick someone?
Just to prove you wrong, I got back on my computer to find the source:

I see someone has balls :l

 

That is awesome that a kid would be that dedicated.
And for being a 13 year old AMERICAN.
Most of them at the that age are either selling drugs, or playing video games.

 

Bugger, I can no longer stereotype all American's as fat and/or lazy. Jokes :L

Anyway, that kid must have put so much effort into this whole achievement, doing something like that at 13 is incredible. There are fully grown men who have failed to climb Everest.

 

I couldnt imagine what that call was like to his mom. I could never seeing myself do that at age 13 damn. Let alone at age 9 climb Mt. Killamanjaro. Crazy kidd... This is such an incredible thing to do at such a young age.

 

Wow, I couldn't imagine. Coolest kid in school?

 

I agree, 13 years old.
You think 6-7th grade.
Thats still a very small kid, im proud to hear something like this.

 

Good on him, I've always wanted to climb Mt. Everest, hopefully some day in my 20's. He is very brave, I admire that.

 

I'm doubting he climbed Everest. There are climbers with years and years of climbing experience that have a lot of trouble with it. I can't see how a 13 year old would be physically capable of it.

 

Anything he can do i can do better..

 

It's not a matter of 'getting off the computer to do it'. You can't just one day leave and say I'm going to climb Mt. Everest, it's something you have to have experience at.

It's an amazing feat not the less. At age 13 I don't even think I would even want to climb a mountain, let-alone the highest mountain in the world.

The funny part is, if he's that good of a climber, what does he do for the rest of his life? Hasn't he accomplished everything big in the climbing world?
