The Seven summits are the highest mountains of each of the seven continents. Jordan Romero, who is now 15, began with his quest six years ago. By climbing the summit of Vinson Massif in Antarctica he completed the seven summits on Saturday. At the age of 13 he already climbed Mt Everest.

 

Jordan beat the record held by George Atkinson, a British climber who was 16 years old when he completed the seven highest mountains of the continents in May.

 

I don't know what you guys think about it, but this boy definitely has my respect although you need to be a little bit crazy to climb such high mountains at his age. But aren't we all a little bit crazy?
