15 year old climbs seven tallest mountains

Big Bear, Cal. -15 year old Jordan Romero reached the top of Antarctica's Mt. Vinson Massif on Saturday, making him the youngest person to have climbed all of the world's 7 highest summits.
Jordan climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro at 10 and Mt. Everest at age 13, his father and stepmother accompany him on the climbs.
I visited his website and there are extensive photo's of him completing his climbs, he also has a post on getting rid of junk food in schools which I personally find to be admirable. I hope this story makes it into the newspaper although it specifically says Jordan does not want too much attention for his achievement in the article.

 Here is a link to the article from Yahoo: http://news.yahoo.com/calif-teen-becomes-youngest-climb-7-summits-010157130--spt.html
