Teen begins ascent of Mt Everest<\/strong><\/span><\/big> CNN Wire Staff\u00a0 April 27, 2010

\nMount Everest, Nepal (CNN)<\/strong> — Even from more than 21,000 feet up the world’s tallest mountain, 13-year-old Jordan Romero couldn’t resist the opportunity to greet his mother in a live television broadcast Monday.<\/p>\n

For Jordan, it’s all part of the journey.<\/p>\n

“It could take … a couple of weeks or a couple of years,” he said, The trip is both hard and great and I will get it done.<\/p>\n

Before they started, Jordan said he wanted to climb Everest for himself and to inspire more young people to get outdoors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Obese children are the future of America, the way things are going,” he said on April 9 in Kathmandu. “I am hoping to change that by doing what I do: climbing and motivational speaking. I want to motivate children and inspire them to get outdoors.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a smile, he added: “I am doing this a little for myself, too, to do something big<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

He has climbed five of the seven highest peaks on seven continents, known as the Seven Summits….starting when he was 9 YO.<\/p>\n

The idea to climb the Seven Summits came to Jordan when he saw a mural of the mountains in the hallway of his school when he was 9. <\/strong>Before sharing his dream with his father, he did all the necessary research and <\/strong>only two weeks later told him of his ambition.<\/p>\n

Despite his achievements, Jordan wants to be seen as a regular kid.<\/p>\n

“I try to seem like an average kid who happens to be climbing,” he said this month. “But I’m not really fitting in.”
