Romero has already reached the top of six other world famous high mountains. He climbed the first-Africa's Kilimanjaro(乞力马扎罗山)-with his parents when he was 10.
Jordan said he had the idea of climbing those mountains when he saw a painting in his school. The painting showed all seven mountains.
"I just wanted to do something big, and this was some- thing I wanted to do for myself," he said.
His father, Paul, is an experienced mountain climber. But he said the idea was his son's. "We're just packing(收拾) the bags, going after him around the world," Paul said.
Mount Qomolangma is 8,844 metres high. Jordan would climb with his parents and two guides. He said they would not take big risks(冒险). They would turn around if they saw problems such as bad weather. He hopes to reach the top by May.
"This may be the first of many tries," he said. "It could take a few years, but I've made up my mind to do it. If I don't reach the top this time, I will try next time."
The youngest person to climb Qomolangma until now was Temba Tsheri, 16, from Nepal(尼泊尔),in 2001.
