Jordan Romero's journey was tracked through GPS coordinates on his blog, logging his team's ascent up Everest, which is 8,847 meters above sea level.

"Their dreams have now come true," a statement on Jordan's blog said. "Everyone sounded unbelievably happy."

Before that time, the youngest climber to scale Everest was 16-year-old Temba Tsheri of Nepal.

Romero left for the peak from the Chinese side of the mountain after Nepal denied him permission on age grounds, according to nepalnews.com.

Before starting out, Romero, of Big Bear, California, said he wanted to climb Everest to inspire more young people to get outdoors.

Jordan now has climbed six of the seven highest peaks on seven continents, known as the Seven Summits.

Jordan's Family

"This is not an isolated vacation," said Paul Romero, Jordan's father, before the two embarked up Everest in Nepal. "This is a lifestyle."

The only peak left for him to climb after Everest is the Vinson Massif in Antarctica, which is 4,897 meters. A trip there is planned for December.
