It is a tremendous achievement, but would you trust your 13 year old to make life and death decisions?

Read an article on Yahoo News yesterday where the kid called his mom from the summit. I didn't realize they had a cell phone tower up there. lol

Satellite phones don't need towers :)




That's pretty badass. I used to have a job where I hiked with that age group. Those lazy kids were lucky if they made it halfway up the easy hikes we did!

There's something intriguing about scaling Everest to me. I can't get enough of news stories about these efforts.
