In reply to Batcloud: Someones parents are rich!

Good effort anyhow!

In reply to CragRat_Trad:

Probably considerably less rich than they were a few years ago

Still money is only one of the ingredients needed to make something like this happen (irrespective of age)

In reply to GrahamD: Aye true that!

Oh definitely, not taking anything away from the lad! A lot of dedication and effort goes into it too! Sure he's got a great future in mountaineering ahead! Keep at it.

There was some geyser called Jordan last year, but he did his own version of the 7 summits according to this site

Looks like he did Australia and Oceana but missed antartica

In reply to A Longleat Boulderer: Fantastic achievement. Am I jealous?, yes very much so.

Could some one explain to me, how on earth a student can afford a commercial expedition like this? Did his parents pay or was he sponsored?

In reply to A Longleat Boulderer: What on earth does he have with a campaign manager?

Anyway fair play.
