I only started following the GPS recently at work after reading oodles of earlier commentary, saw you passed the first step during my afternoon, thought “oh, they try summiting today?” (after reading the recent report of you reaching Camp 2!) then came back later, already you are on the way down!
Good luck for the rest of the trip, and looking forward to following your progress to Antarctica now!
Rock on J, P n K!Safe returns!
Congratulations, Jordan and team! What an extraordinary accomplishment, not just for a 13-year old, but for anyone! We can feel the whole mountain buzzing with excitement. Prayers for a safe descent. You are an inspiration to so many people!

I’m following you from Spain (Europe). Here in Europe there is an interesting debate about allowing youth people to do this kind of things. I think tat people like you shows how great the human being can be. Congrats to your father also and the sherpas. And there are a lot of people that we love the mountain. But you could be a reference in the western world.
J, K and P. Super freakin damm hyper excellent job team!!! We are so proud of you. You guys got your Everest. Stay safe and enjoy the ride. Love and hugs from NZ.

Congratulations from Madagascar…very proud of you guys…
Félicitations, Jordan,
C’est un grand exploit, et je suis heureux que tu y soit parvenus. Je suis sur que tu n’en ai que à tes débuts d’exploit. Un seul conseil, ne dépasse jamais (hors cas de survie) les 80% de tes capacités. Les engagements hors de ces règles de sécurités finissent parfois mal.
Je n’oublie pas de féliciter tes parents qui ont su te faire confiance et t’accompagner.
Bien amicalement
Gaby
Congratulations Jordan. They said you were to young to handle it. You proved them wrong. We are all proud of you. My 13 year old is doing a 50 mile bike ride to raise money for Livestrong. Not quite the same league, but if all kids your age were more focused on health and athletic accomplishments, the world would be a better place.
Going to make a Livestrong contribution in your name.
Congratulations from North Carolina (USA)! What an incredible & inspiring feat! Praying safety for Team Jordan on their descent…
Fantastic news – well done all of you! My daughters aged 5 & 8 have been following your progress from England and think Jordan is even cooler than the Jonas brothers :0)
CONGRATULATIONS! That’s fabulous! Come down safely!
Wow! Congratulations Jordan and your wonderfully supportive family and friends. What a great feat you have accomplished! You should be so very proud of yourselves. Have a safe trip back down -thoughts and best wishes from Western Australia!
Jordan: Congratulations!!! During the Amgen bike race that finished in Big Bear Friday, we heard the call from your mom saying you had a window of opportunity to summit and were going for it. Lots of nerves, prayers, and excitement for you all last night. Well done!!! We’ll be glad to welcome you back home. Lots of love!
congrats..wish u safe journey to base camp
Yay! You made it! I am so glad!!!
Congradulations :0
Congratulations Jordan! Very proud of you….way to go! Hope you come back home safely.
Jordan, Paul and Karen,
Congrats for accomplishing this righteous and spectacular feat.
We are lovingly proud of you Jordan!! We were awakened by family in Arizona today to hear the great news and saw you on HLN.
Can’t wait to see more pictures and to hear more about the TOP of Mount Everest.
Have a safe journey back home xo (Gramma) Rose and (aunt) Diane
Well, well, very well done! Congratulations to all three of you and Leigh Anne, too… great team both on the mountain and at home! Loves and hugs to you all!!! xoxo
I was just thinking what a neat coincidence it is that you’re at the top of Mt. Everest during the same weekend that the Jewish people celebrate the giving of the torah to Moses on Mount Sinai. Your accomplishment is deeply inspiring for all of us in Big Bear. We look forward to hearing all about your trip when you return. Godspeed, from the Bakhos family.
Congratulation depuis la Suisse. Nous t’avons vu sur la BBC TV.
Et voici, nous avons recu les nouvelles de Gloria et Steve Romero Howey.
PSAUME 121 1 Cantique des degrés. Je lève mes yeux vers les montagnes… D’où me viendra le secours?
2 Le secours me vient de l’Éternel, Qui a fait les cieux et la terre.
3 Il ne permettra point que ton pied chancelle; Celui qui te garde ne sommeillera point.
4 Voici, il ne sommeille ni ne dort, Celui qui garde Israël.
5 L’Éternel est celui qui te garde, L’Éternel est ton ombre à ta main droite.
6 Pendant le jour le soleil ne te frappera point, Ni la lune pendant la nuit.
7 L’Éternel te gardera de tout mal, Il gardera ton âme;
8 L’Éternel gardera ton départ et ton arrivée, Dès maintenant et à jamais.
Salutations, Yves Ana Yosef Lilia Yisrael et Rachel

Living the DREAM, Jordan!! Congratulations! I bet you’ll sleep for a few days after this trek. I look forward to seeing the posts later. Your’re never too young for an adventure!

Congratulations to Jordan and his team on a successful ascent. I admire your vision, conviction, and strength. May you be an inspiration to others: you are never to old or too young to follow your dreams. Sincerely, Sandy Hill
What an inspiration! Congratulations from B.C. Canada!!
Congratulations from Brazil!!!! My best wishes to you all, really amazing! big hug to Paul and Karen…
Congratulations, Jordan!! Have a SAFE return trip to your home and family.
Great Accomplishment! We are all thrilled for you and your team. We will pray for your safe journey home all the way to Big Bear Lake.
The d-bag factor on this is off the charts. Unqualified parents again exploiting their children for 15 minutes of fame. This is not an accomplishment; it is a choreographed slap in the face to legitimate climbers and an embarrassment to Everest.
Congratulations, Jordan and parents. Our family (11yo, 9yo and parents) has been following your progress for many weeks. We are so very excited for your achievement! Take care trekking down. Best wishes from Wisconsin.
amazing … get home safe~~~!!!
Jordan, I am so happy for you!!! Congratulations!!! All of us at Amazing Kids! are so proud of you and your amazing accomplishment today! Way to go! Thank you for being such an amazing role model for kids around the world! You are a true Ambassador of Amazing Kids everywhere!
Warmest wishes and big hugs,
Alyse Rome and the Amazing Kids! Team

Way to go Jordan! I’ve been following your journey since the beginning.

I remember years ago when this was being chatted about at Paul and Karen’s house when I visited and I thought “wow, thats crazy”. Then I lost contact, then all of a sudden I saw the article in Outside and recognized Jordan’s name and thought “no way”. Way!
You guys really pulled it of. Congrats on your successes. Enjoy the afterglow.
