The 13-Year-Old Who Forced Everest to Change the Rules Forever
May 22, 2010. The north side of Everest was eerie…wind tearing through tents, oxygen tanks hissing, climbers tightening their boots for the final push into the Death Zone. Every person up there had trained for years. Every person knew the risks. But one climber didn’t fit the profile. He wasn’t a veteran guide. He wasn’t even old enough to drive, vote, drink, or legally sign his own waiver... a thirteen-year-old boy. Was this ambition—or recklessness?
