Youngest Person to Top Mount Everest is a Girl

Posted by: gretchen on May 21, 2007 |

Samantha Larson PhotoLast week, Samantha Larson became the youngest person on record to climb to the summit of Mount Everest. Samantha, who climbed the peak with her father as part of the “Seven summits challenge” has now officially beat the challenge record set last year by 20 year old Rhys Miles Jones.

Samantha has been climbing since she was a kid and has reached the peaks of mountains such as Aconcagua in South America at the age of 13 and Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa at the age of 14.

Driven to excellence in everything she does, Samanatha has been known to practice her oboe in the snow on climbing treks as well as study to keep her grades up. It has obviously paid off as Samantha graduated near the top of her high school class and is planning to attend Stanford University in the fall. You can read about her climbing adventures on her blog at http://www.samanthalarson.blogspot.com/

Girls Can’t WHAT? salutes Samaatha Larson for a job well done! Guess I need to work on a Girls Can’t WHAT? climbing design. ;) Thanks to Kel1 for the heads up on this one.
