  • ass reporter

  • I think his dad must have a shit load of money for all the gear and stuff, you gotta admire his courage but he does have his whole life to do these things

  • That reporter is a bitch

  • hope you do good on the next mountain u climb!!! your amazing

  • The kid seems to genuinely enjoy this. Adrenaline is the best drug.

  • Comment removed

  • Jesus was born from a 13 year old who hiked across the desert... Old enough, Really.....

  • This kid is extraordinary.

  • Wow thats impressive.. I wish I had the opportunity to do that! Kinda bugs me though how a 5 year old could climb Annapurna or K2 (much more difficult and dangerous mountains) and nobody would care just because Everest is the tallest and way more commercialized

  • way to go what a great dad giving his son something LIFE! if I could ask this kid a question ....how do is feel to be alive now?

  • Yeah, cry on the summit of everest. Nothing like frozen eyes to celebrate.

  • I agree with the father, when he talks about irresponsibility ! haha in your teeth, 'mam !

  • "Hes not old enough to drive, he is not old enough to drink, he is not old enough to vote" wtf women do you need to be able to drive/drink/vote to climb a mountain! Some kids are just more developed than others? He is 13, but his mind and phsyical strenght is much stonger than avarage 13 years old kids. He is not a kid, he is a man in a young body

  • Wow that kid looks old for his age

  • Good for him. but he's not carrying a backpack.

  • @andyslaybids most climbers leave everything at last camp before summit attempt

  • @iOrganicTank Well then most climbers aren't in other videos i've seen :P

  • @andyslaybids I am pretty sure they leave their stuff at high camp 4 or whatever it is.

  • @BlakeGriceMuayThai Well his dad is wearing a back-pack in the first clip (not everest) and the son doesn't have one on.

  • thats amazing well done Jordan keep it up...  :@)

  • Good for you man. Go for all 14 8000ers

  • you are going to kill your son soon

  • im jelly of him.. if you are from 13-18 you know u also are

  • he made it and thats good he didnt get hurt so you should be happy for him

  • i think its cool!!!!!!!!!!

    im climbing mt. mckinley this year at the age of 11

  • The state has laws to protect the public from someone that is to young to drive or do other things where a mistake could harm others. If he fails or makes a mistake it doesn't harm anyone else. Young kids make life & death decisions every day (is it safe to cross the street now?) Who is to say he is to young other than his parents? I see these comments that it shouldn't be allowed. Why? It's not the responsibility of the state to raise you or your children. Where would that kinda thing end?

  • @ 6:27--referring to fast food--"Well known to promote disease and early death" Uhhh...I think climbing Everest promotes early death, too, I heard the death rate for summiters is about 20%

  • @1960markN Actually death rate of summiters is 100%... actually that's everyone's death rate. The statistics, 10 out of 10 people die. There are at least two everest guides who have helped 200+ climbers summit and never lost a single one. Yes people die, but a whole hell of a lot more kids die each year from drunk driving, suicide, early disease and even head injuries in sports.

  • coolest family ever!!!

  • Good work, kid. Keep pushing.

  • This child should be in the custody of his mother or anyone else who is not related to his dad. This twit dad and his female partner are doing their best to make money out of him. Those so called adults should not be allowed to take care of a minor, in any country

  • @atchou001a exactly... it was either that or boot camp Im sure of it. LOL

  • @oddsource I actually have met this kid a couple of times and hung out with his family. It was not that or boot camp, it was him begging to follow a dream. Also, they're not out to make any money out of or off of him. It's HIS goal and HIS dream and HE accomplished it. Way to go Jordan!!!

  • i mean seriously shut the fuck up you ignorant cow

  • The interviewer gets annoying, but I'm only impressed, he seems pretty mature and passionate.

  • i met him in school 2day

  • that reporter should just shut up and stop worrying so much

  • this reporter is....omg.

  • God this reporter is so annoying and condescending. 3:08 "There have been a lot of people who have died climbing that mountain, you know", yes I think he realizes that you twat, especially since you have to basically walk over them when you're near the top of the mountain

  • that is so awsome

  • *salute*

  • greatttttttttttttttttttttttttt­tttttttt

    

  • she's so dumb, this kids amazing, hes such an inspirational person.

  • These two reporters are faggots... this 13 year old is what we have forgotten of what it means to be human.. at least he lives and is one bad ass motherfucker.

  • @RedDragonLodge Totally agree, though i do think he needs to slow the pace a little in case he runs out of awesome shit to do before he is twenty.

  • Salute~!

  • Congratz to the kid, and he has one dang good dad, if we had atleast 100 more like that in the USA our future would look so much brighter

  • @therunningwolf15 You have to realize, that there are plenty of kids who could probably do this (no offense to this kid) but it requires a TON of money. It is impressive, but it is not amazing considering the fact that there are a very very few kids with this kind of money/

  • @BeepimajeepBeep I was talking about needing more Fathers in this country like his.

  • Comment removed

  • Good for you guys! My son is 5 and I can't wait to get him on the peaks! Not kill him slowly at McDonalds. Hats off to you!

  • @climbingdad get him on the peaks is better than mcdonalds of course ! :-)

  • this is not to be taken lightly , sounds like the folks are going for a record if not why not wait a few years? dad filled his goggles full of tears...

  • this is not to be taken lightly , sounds like the folks are going for a record if not why not wait a few years?

  • hmm i dont get that much ok, inform me about the reasons

  • Rock on little amigo... Rock on....

  • he should have just fallen and died kids dont deserve such a privilage

  • @AlienFirefox Are you stupid ?

  • @MrMacedonianguy

    nope im practical

    obviously the chinese agree cause now they have banned under 18's from climbing

    the nepalese had it right no under 16s allowed

  • @AlienFirefox i get that but why die and why dosent he deserve "such a privilege"

  • @MrMacedonianguy

    obviously his doing it for all the wrong reasons

  • Wow, that reporter needs to shut the fuck up. The fact of the matter is that Jordan is probably more trained that most mountain climbers will ever obtain. I want to see this kid climb K2.

  • Ever since i went to Poon Hill in Nepal recently and when i had dinner at Rum Doodle where the conquerers of Mt Everest get to eat for free, i am inspired by Jordan and other guys who conquered Mt Everest!

  • i wanted to punch that stupid reporter in the face! jordans parents know what jordan can and cannot do

  • This is the prove us kids can do so mutch more the the adults thinks we can

  • Good for him. He had a dream, an inspiration, and he made it happen with the support of his family. No, his parents are not rich...all this happened thanks to sponsorships and hard work. Jordan SHOULD be lauded for his accomplishment. He has climbed six of the seven summits with courage, skill, and no ill effects. In December, he will assault the Vinson Massif in Antarctica, and I wish him and his family a safe and successful trip. Shame on all of you nay-sayers for trying to hold him back.

  • "Buying a Big Mac is irresponsible?? Compared to taking your 13 yo son on Everest??? Is this guy serious? If anyone of the three had died, what would he say then?? He'd realize mountaineering is not a game, it's serious shit!

  • Anyone can get to the summit considering they have the money and the fitness. This kid just got lucky that his father could afford it. I'm sure there are other kids who would be willing to do this but don't have the money.

  • Respect to the kid.....The father is a bit eccentric/loopy/insane....

  • it's pretty sad how they make a hero out of a kid who parents risks his life... 9.3% of climbers of everest don't make it back.

    now think of the many reasons why our govt allows the illegal kidnapping of our children... cps considers such abuse as a spanking 'child endangerment"
