I must make a special mention of this person here. His name is Jake Meyer and he has set the record as the youngest person to have climb all 7 continent's highest peaks.
Starting at 15 he started off by climbing Mt Kilimanjaro, and finished his 7 summits expedition at Mt McKinley in Alaska, at a tender age of 21!
He is now 23, and is traveling in Northern South America to you summit a few peaks. I just can't believe how young he is and that he is on holiday just to climb more peaks!

Hi Ben, had a look at your site to see where you are now and where you have been. What a fantastic trip you have done so far, and so many tales to tell when you return home. The memories will be with you forever. I can imagine how scared you were by the situation in Venuzuela, it's a good job you haven't encountered too much of that behaviour. I feel really jealous of you, for your courage, love of life and your youth (very important that) What happened to Laird? Love to hear from you. Shelagh
I am still alive! So is Laird! I saw him off at Medellin in Colombia, as he has fallen in love with the place. He has been there for 2 months and is about to buy an flat! Crazy aye?
I will drop you a nice long email soon mummy, and all the best to you too!
kiss kiss
