No parent should expose their young child to lethal altitude sickness, disfiguring frostbite, hurricane force winds, avalanches, zero visability and extreme exhaustion. Even the most experienced climbers make fatal mistakes or sit down to die in these conditions.
Let's not forget that if he would run into trouble in the DeathZone he's on his own because stopping to help is suicide. Everest is littered with bodies of climbers who died begging for help only to become macabre landmarks.
"I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!"
-A 13-year old boy called Jordan Romero climbed up Mt. Everest, the second biggest mountain in the world. Everest isn't his first summit since he went up the Kilimanjaro Stratovolcano of Africa when he was 10. Now he's heading to Antarctica to go up Vinson Massif.
@Guerillaradio13 umm he already summited and climbing mt. vinson as i type this to complete the 7 summits. so, you know diddly shit! the kid is a true mountaineer! and, he's also not a so called "rich kid" he has sponsors and holds events to raise money so he can climb these peaks.
i'm actually about to climb everest this september. i will be videotaping. im 14. with my dad my brother and my cousins we've been taking mountaineering classes for 2 years we've summited Mt. McKinley and now we're going for the ultimate "goddess" of the world. subscribe to my channel for the upload of the video. we'll summit hopefully by the 10th of september. wish us luck.
ohh look at me my parents paid 50,000 dollars for me to follow two guides, up the easiest route up a mountain with state of the art equipment. why don't the guides get the recognition?? they've surely climbed everest more times than anybody else and probably get shit pay for it too. climbing everest isn't an achievement any more as it's just become an event for people with more money than sense
@neil182sr ey the sherpas enjoy climbing the mountain, and fyi he had to climb up the harder route because the easiest one had an age limit of 16 and it would be 65,000 dollars... ic case you didnt know....
@neil182sr wow, you really seem to know what you are talking about. are you an expert climber? i wanna climb everest one day, will you be my guide, since you have so much experience that you can criticizes all others who climb 29,029 feet. You must have climbed everest 30 times by now right?
several people have died climbing that mountain with nothing but food, jackets, and tents in the older times. with the technology we have today anyone could climb it, especially when that person has rich parents :P
@TheTrueMetal9 you have no idea, money wont get you to the top. you have to have the ability to do it yourself. nobody will or even can carry you up there.
@yumi327 yea but climbing the mountain has so many odds against somone like the freezing temp, the the pressure, and the limited resources. whats a challenge when somone has advanced equipment that can take out those factors. the challenge is ot only the mt climbing, but surviving the elements
@TheTrueMetal9 thats just it, its man's triumph over the elements. sure it would be much more exciting to do it without oxygen, a down jacket, and goggles but it would also be impossible (except for the oxygen, people have done it without that)
@TheTrueMetal9 So you could go climb it then. I'll make a bet with you. I will pay for your flight, stay and climb up everest, and all other expenses,and if you summit and make it back within the next 3 months, I'll give you an extra $20,000. If not, you have to give me 20,000 and pay me back for everything. Since its so easy with all the tech this should be a cake walk for someone as skilled as yourself
if you get caught with weed it could ruin your life...
if you spank your kid, or drink with your 17 year old daughter, cps might take them away ...
but at 13 you can risk your live climbing the most dangerous mountain and not have to worry about child endangerment charges or cps coming to take your kid away!
@RevolutionNewz lol you cant compare extreme sports with drugz which are only their to harm if i would be in charge i would ban all the weed and alcohol and smoke(cigs), and make a lot of money on charging people with tickets.
sure, can't compare the two... I wouldn't call climbing everest an extreme sport... I'd call it a gamble... as 1 in 10 don't make it (DIE) going up, and one in 20 going down.
@RevolutionNewz lol, when you think like that, then how about driving cars ? you can do it with 16 in america, dieng in car accident is probably more risky then climbing on everast or drinking and smoking and taking drugz, just look up statistics and you will see that your totaly wrong. smoking drinking is one of the top killers, and even if you die on everest so what ? their is more glory dieng their then to be a drunk or a smoker.(junkie)
@RevolutionNewz okay, your a weedhead, LEGALZIE IT PEACE BROTHA 420!! happy now ? why getting personal you you you ? just check out the statistics and do some probability calculation, still drugz such as alcohol and cigartes(including cannabis) do hurt the people, and driving cars on cannabis will make the reaction very slow which is high risk on killing innocent people in traffic.dont be ignorant.
sure, great, whatever... but the point is that it's MUCH more dangerous to hike mt everest!
and regarding weed... it's illegal not because it gets you high or is dangerous... it's illegal because it's the best fuel paper fiber food and medicine.
sure, great, whatever... but the point is that it's much more dangerous to hike mt everest!

@RevolutionNewz i have smoked weed myself, its a drug, it make your body harm no excusses mate, still this boy survived it, you didnt do such thing, its a cool sport nothing to compare with what you mentioned.
@RevolutionNewz There are many people that went up Everest before this kid with a much worse chance of sumitting (see 1996 disaster... two of the best guides in the world virtually committed suicide to get their clients to the top). Also, Everest is not the most dangerouos mountain in the world (see K2, Annapurna I). Do some homework.
@RevolutionNewz im pretty sure that on mount everest theirs like easy not very dangerous ways to get to the top, and then theirs routes that are really dangerous and you can die. I might be wrong though, this is just what ive heard.
