No Summit out of Sight: The True Story of the Youngest Person to Climb the Seven Summits

Written by Jordan Romero and Linda LeBlanc

Narrated by Kyle Tait

Jordan Romero climbed Mount Everest at age thirteen-and he didn't stop there. In this inspiring young adult memoir, he tells how he achieved such great heights.

On May 22, 2010, at the age of thirteen, American teenager Jordan Romero became the youngest person to climb to the summit of Mount Everest. At fifteen, he became the youngest person to reach the summits of the tallest mountains on each of the seven continents. In this energizing memoir for young adults, Jordan, recounts his experience, which started as a spark of an idea at the age of nine and, many years of training and hard work later, turned into a dream come true.

“The emotional pitch of the story remains high as Romero contends with extreme weather, frustration, exhaustion, and homesickness to reach, with almost palpable exhilaration, each peak” (Publishers Weekly).

This tells the story of Jordan Romero who started climbing the Seven Summits plus one when he was 10. He finished when he was 15 setting records on several of the Summits.I liked his perseverance. He set his goal of climbing all the Summits and made it. His parents were remarkable helping him to achieve his goal through training, fund-raising, and doing whatever it took to get the permits and equipment. Seeing them work as a family was fantastic. His stepmother was always offering encouragement. His mother was a typical mother--worrying about his safety but she saw the drive and determination and change in him through these climbs. I enjoyed the history of the mountains and the climbing of them as he began each Summit. At times it did get a little preachy about healthy lifestyle but I understand where he is coming from. Since I will not be climbing the Seven Summits plus one, I was glad to be an armchair traveler as Jordan recounts his experiences on his training, his climbing, and the aftermath of each success. I learned a lot.

Jordan Romero was inspired to climb the Seven Summits when looking at a mural in elementary school. At age 10 he was pursuing this dream with the support of his family, especially his dad and step-mom who were professional adventure racers. He goes through training and the efforts involved to conquer each of the summits in each continent. He set several world records in the process and completed his goal by age 15. Jordan's message to other people is for them to "Find Your Everest".
