Just read on Everestnews.com that Jordan Romero, a 13 year old American has just summited the North side of Everest. An absolutely incredible achievement for him and his team. Everest is also (I believe) the last of his 7 Summits, which means that he's broken the existing 7 Summits record by about 5 years! Not a bad effort. He's still on his descent, so hopefully he and his team all get back down the mountain safely.

Also, great to see that some of the Adventure Peaks team have summited, and my thoughts are also with all of them still on their way up, or on their way down.

When I summited, I was about the 2500th person to make it to the top - 2500 people in 52 years. They expect the 5000th person to have summited in the next day or so. Amazing to see that in the past 5 years the number has doubled!
