Jordan is off to Everest!
April 6th, 2010 – Jordan Romero, 13 year old marvel mountaineer from Big Bear Lake, California, has left on the big journey that will eventually place him on the top of the world atop Mount Everest, some time in May. Jordan will be carrying a GPS satellite beacon from TrackMe360, that together with mapping technology from ESRI (makers of the most used GIS Geo mapping software in the world) will give Jordan’s fans and friends a chance to follow his adventure. Live map will be posted soon (check back here)
Jordan sent me this picture from Katmandu, sipping tea with his SPOT beacon right there saying “never leave home without it” (Amex, sorry…no harm intended) 
Parting words from Jordan were…
“36hr before 5 day drive to base camp, then 3 days to ABC, then 1 month of back breaking work, oh joy.”
I don’t know about you, but when I was 13, I was stoked to climb that 100 ft hill behind the school…Jordan has climbed Elbrus, Denali, Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua, Karstens…what am I missing???…incredible!
