No Summit out of Sight
No Summit out of Sight: The True Story of the Youngest Person to Climb the Seven Summits | Jordan Romero
6 posts | 9 read | 4 to read
Jordan Romero climbed Mount Everest at age thirteenand he didnt stop there. In this inspiring young adult memoir that includes color photos, he tells how he achieved such great heights. On May 22, 2010, at the age of thirteen, American teenager Jordan Romero became the youngest person to climb to the summit of Mount Everest. At fifteen, he became the youngest person to reach the summits of the tallest mountains on each of the seven continents. In this energizing memoir for young adults, Jordan, recounts his experience, which started as a spark of an idea at the age of nine and, many years of training and hard work later, turned into a dream come true. The emotional pitch of the story remains high as Romero contends with extreme weather, frustration, exhaustion, and homesickness to reach, with almost palpable exhilaration, each peak (Publishers Weekly).

This was a great read! It‘s inspiring! It‘s also nice to be able to take some time and read! It‘s been a while since I have finished books or read this much in a day.

Tonight was the school wide finals for the National Geographic Geography Bee. ManCub came in 4th! In the end he was up against a 7th grader and 2 8th graders, not bad for a kid in 5th grade. I‘m beyond proud of him but better yet he is proud of himself. All the participants got books this is one of them that he got along with a really nice world atlas. #mombrag #madeitaboutbooks

This kid is unbelievable! He climbed all 7 summits (the largest on each continent) + 1 by age 15. He set world record after world record. I‘m pretty much in awe. The book is cataloged in my library as young adult but I think 5th grade through high school kids would really enjoy it.

Killing time at Starbucks on a cold, rainy night. Starting this book and sipping on a peppermint mocha something and listening to Christmas music (seriously?!)
PS, I‘ve never gotten a fancy drink at Starbucks. l, usually just get a coffee with cream. I‘m going to be on a sugar high tonight 😆

AmyG Xmas music? Jeez, it's Nov 7. 😳 7y
No_One I love books about climbing! Enjoy the beverage, the tunes and the book. 😊 7y
Cortg @AmyG I know, right? I prefer for the times to start AFTER Thanksgiving! 7y
Cortg @No_One I‘m especially looking forward to this because it‘s YA & Nonfiction. 7y

Starting this tonight. True story of the youngest (15) person to climb the seven summits. I do not understand the drive or obsession of mtn climbing, knowing the physical and mental risks one must endure; not to mention the effects of climbing on your loved ones. Nevertheless I am fascinated with the stories and struggles of those who do it.
