That is just unbelievable. You have to wonder what age is too young for the attempt, but I read that Jordan is 5'10" and 165 lbs, so physiologically he's closer to an adult than his age would indicate.
I agree with you BD about the size for his age... but how many times have we said/heard that the mountain... any of them... is mostly mental.
So.. at the age of 13 he has conquered 6 of the 7 Summits... the 7th is planned for this December... what next? I have a 13 year old son.. he still thinks girls have cooties! How does a mind that young deal with the enormity of what he's done. How well did he hold together while on the mountain.. I've read accounts of Everest... the mental anguish and trama that climbers go through is beyond anything I can probably imagine.
I know alot of people are saying that so long as his parents support him that it's all good... I just don't agree....
