We have posted numerous times about Jordan Romero, the teenager (just barely) who is out to climb the highest peak on each continent. Last fall, Jordan reached the summit of No. 6 by bagging Carstensz Pyramid (16,023 feet), Papua-Irian Jaya-Indonesia.

Jordan has already reached the summit of Denali (North America), Aconcagua (South America), Mt Elbrus (Europe), Kilimanjaro (Africa) and Mt. Kosciuszko (Australia). He has set records on several of these as well as the youngest to set foot on the summit.

So, what does that leave for the young mountaineer?

The short list includes Vinson Massif (Antarctica) and Everest (Asia).

After speaking with Jordan’s father, Paul Romero, the team plans to depart on March 28 for an attempt on Everest (North Side). This would make Jordan the youngest person to summit the world’s tallest mountain at over 29,000 feet. If they are successful with Everest, they will then turn their attention towards Antarctica in December.

In preparation for this feat, Jordan will be spending a lot of time training which includes some climbing on Mt. Hood and others. He has also set his sights on climbing the highest point in each of the 50 states. Of course, he has already climbed the highest point in North America (Mt. McKinley).

We will keep you updated on his progress as it develops.

Enjoy the short clip above of Jordan reaching the summit of number 4 of the United States 50 (Mt. Humphreys in Arizona).
