Teen Climber: Too Young to Scale Mt. Everest?

I think the kid is nuts, actually I think anyone who attempts it are nuts, but hey it's their life and I commend the kid highly for doing something I KNOW I COULD NEVER DO.

So congrats to Team Jordan on his accomplishment. Although I bet he technically cheated and used the ladder for the second step. George Mallory died trying to climb the 2nd step without a ladder (or he died coming down from the summit, the camera is missing so we will never know. His body is still up there btw).

If they can do it why not? That lady is just hiding in a closet full of bubble wrap.

Pretty sure climbing mount everest increases your chances of dying a bit more than eating a big mac. lol this guy

I have to disagree with the majority, sorry. 13yrs old seems a bit young to risk a high probability of death. Everest is now nothing more than a vanity project for all who climb it- to be the youngest is yet another "First Rung" project. What other dangerous risks would kids take if they were to given carte blanche to do so? Better, fitter climbers have lost their lives on Everest- it was a stupid gamble that luckily paid off.

I climbed Mount Everst last year! I am now 23. Search me up, I bet you all 10000 dollars I climbed it. This was the hardest thing I have (ever) lol done.

hi davidson day!

Why do we put an age limit on what kids are capable of doing

Do what you want with your kid and I support that. But your Big Macs argument? Here's the problem - Big macs will not instantly kill your son. 1 climb on everest 28% chance to instantly kill him. Not comparable. Also, they're now finding those ultra high altitudes cause permanent brain damage https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/brain-cells-into-thin-air/... You really think you can deprive a brain oxygen that long with no lasting effect. Your brain swells and dies and even if you survive, you are left with less than what you started with considerably. May as well smash your head on a brick wall.

It's not fucking Mt. Vincient mrs news lady

While many people have died climbing everest(most in the early days of climbing) and it is definitely not easyeverest is far from the most dangerous mountain in the world.

damn abc interviewer is so critical. if it's not your kid than don't criticize them and their parents

go to k2

He's climbed top peaks before doing Everest... he was better prepared to do Everest than some who attempt it.

I'm 18 I climbed everest, now I am a father, it was extremely difficult

Dude, on a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being not so extreme and 10 being extremely extreme, I give this a 9.5!

bad ass lil man

Babu had 0 experience in climbing heights .. so he climb everest anyways illegally without permit and flew off the sommit with a parachute 😂😂 nothing is more BADASS than this
