Remaja AS Pecahkan Rekor Pendaki Everest Termuda

[priatampan]

Seorang anak lelaki Amerika berusia 13 tahun mencatat prestasi mengagumkan sebagai pendaki termuda puncak tertinggi di dunia, puncak Gunung Everest.



Jordan Romero dari negara bagian California, Amerika sebelah barat, mencapai puncak gunung Himalaya, setinggi 8.850 meter di atas permukaan air laut, Sabtu, mengungguli pemegang rekor sebelumnya, Temba Tsheri, berumur 16 tahun dari Nepal.



Nepal tidak mengizinkan siapapun yang berumur di bawah 16 tahun untuk mendaki Gunung Everest karena berbahaya. Oleh karena itu, Romero dan timnya, yang menyertakan ayah dan ibu tirinya, memasuki kawasan gunung tersebut dari sisi Tiongkok.



Situs internet yang mendokumentasikan perjalanan Romero mengatakan ia berbahagia luar biasa ketika menelpon dari puncak via telepon satelit . Sekarang ia hanya perlu mendaki Vinson Massif, di Antarktika, untuk menyelesaikan usahanya mendaki puncak-puncak tertinggi di tujuh benua.



Romero mencapai puncak gunung Everest dengan sekelompok pendaki gunung, termasuk seorang warga Nepal dari etnis sherap bernama Apa, yang memecahkan rekornya sendiri dengan mendaki puncak Everest untuk yang ke-20 kalinya.




Spoiler for photo step by step go to summit:








North Col/Camp1 to Camp2



The team made it to Camp2 last night. According to the GPS information it took them almost 9hrs to complete this stage. It was approximately 2.0 km but the elevation gain was significant (~600 meters). Keep in mind, true climbing/walking distances are always a lot further than GPS point to point distances!







Update from the Team



The team just called from their iSatPhone. They wanted to say hello to everyone and to give everyone an update. Right now they have stopped for tea, but they said that everything is going well and that they are ahead of schedule. They also mentioned that the clouds were clearing and they could see the ridgeline all the way up to the summit and it looked absolutely amazing. The team is using oxygen for this part of the climb. Everyone is strong; especially Jordan.



The team sends their love to everyone.









Summit Attempt



Update from the team: Everything is going super well and they may attempt to summit today. They are currently at Step 1.



Stay tuned for more updates or just follow along with the map.







Approaching the Summit



After years of preparation, determination and hard work, Jordan is finally approaching the summit and about to realzie his ultimate dream - climbing the 7 summits of the world. Stay tuned.







Team Jordan Summits Mt. Everest



The team just called in and confirmed that they are standing on top of Mt. Everest - the highest peak in the world. Their dreams have now come true. Everyone sounded unbelievably happy. They also thanked everyone who supported them and encouraged them throughout their journey.



I�m sure we�ll hear more from them soon!







Back at Camp 2



After approximately 1350m of climbing, some 26hrs later, the Team�s SPOT GPS indicates they have arrived safely back at Camp 2 (24,750 ft) after summitting. A monumental effort.



Stay tuned for more details.







Back at ABC



According to the map and GPS, the team has arrived at ABC. Everyone is in good health. We should have more updates soon.





Catching up on details, the summit plan



We apologize for the lack of details over the past 48 hours, but we were travelling light and we wanted to preserve our Inmarsat satellite phones to ensure we could call the whole way.



As I�m sure you noticed, the team changed the schedule and moved everything up one day. We punched through a �breezy� day to get to camp 2, where again�we modified our plans to hopefully achieve a quiet, non-crowded route. We planned a 5:30 pm start from Camp 2 and planned to skip Camp 3, only stop to change out oxygen bottles. Our sherpas had planted some there 4 days prior. We stopped briefly at midnight and then it was onto the summit.

When we arrived, we had the entire north face to ourselves, just our team. Near excellent conditions, light snow falling, and a pace and efficiency above what we could have expected. Everything went as planned.



So it�s all true, everything you�ve seen and read. Jordan not only climbed Mt. Everest, but he climbed with unbelievable strength and skill. When we arrived, here�s what Jordan said:



�Hello mom, it�s your son calling from the top of the world, everything�s ok. I did it.�, as Jordan shielded himself from the wind at 29,035.



Right now the team is back at the relative warmth and comfort at 21,000 of ABC.



More to come after we load the yaks�

Team Jordan
