Looks like there won't be anymore record breaking "youngest climber to summit evererst" anymore. I was wondering how low it could go... 12, 11, 10?

Crazy and selfish...just my opinion. As the mother of an 8 year old boy, I couldn't imagine him doing something like that at the age of 10 and fully understanding the implications, nor would I want to risk losing him (the maternal, protective thing) But then we're here and they are over there.....very different lifestyle/upbringing. I still think it's too young tho...
