Jordan Romero, 13, was inspired by a poster in his school hallway to climb the highest peaks on all seven continents. He climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa when he was 10. This morning, he reached the top of Mt. Everest, becoming the youngest person to climb the mountain. Temba Tsheri of Nepal held the previous record which was 16.
