If he succeeds,Romero will become the youngest climber to climb the 8,850 meters Everest Summit.Currently a 16yearold Nepali boy,Temba Tsheri Sherpa,holds the record of being the world’s youngest climber of Mount Everest.
But Romero,sitting over lunch with his climbing father and stepmother in Kathmandu’s tourist district of Thamel,said he was not after setting climbing records.
Romero said Mount Qomolangma,that runs across NepalChina border,was part of his goal to climb the highest mountains on all seven continents.
“It is just a goal,” he said confidently.“If I don’t succeed I am okay.I will try again.”
Romero has already climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa and Mount McKinley in Alaska among others.
Romero’s father Paul said the boy was ready to take on the climb and understood the risk of climbing the giant mountain.
“I know it requires a lot of patience.I will remain patient.I want to stay safe and make right choice,” Romero said of his climb using the northeast ridge (山脊) route on the Chinese side of the mountain.
Over 4,000 climbers have reached the top of Mount Qomolangma since it was first climbed by New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary and Nepal’s Tenzing Norgay Sherpa in 1953.Romero said he wanted to climb the highest mountains in all 50 states in the US next.“It does not need to be after Qomolangma and could be in between.”
