The youngest climber to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma, hugged (拥抱) his team members
and told them he loved them. Then 13-year-old Jordan Romero took the satellite (卫星) phone and
called his mom.
"He says, 'Mom, I'm calling you from the top of the world. I love you!' I just told him to get home
safely," his mother told the reporters from California. She had been watching her son's progress minute
by minute online.
Returning from Saturday's success on the world's highest mountain, at 8,850 meters above sea level,
Jordan said when he was interviewed, "Every step I took was finally toward the biggest goal of my life,
to stand on the top of the world." "I was encouraged by a painting in my school of the highest mountains
on all seven continents (洲). I want to climb up all of them." He climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa
when he was 9 years old.
Before him, the youngest climber to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma had been Temba Tsheri
of Nepal at the age of 16 in 2001.
