The always reliable MountEverest.net has posted a new story today about a 15 year old climber from Australia who will attempt to summit Everest in the upcoming climbing season. Christopher Harris will join his father Richard on the slopes of Everest in an attempt to become the youngest person ever to reach the Top of the World. According to the article, they will attempt the climb from the Tibetan side, on the North Face, as it is illegal for anyone under the age of 16 to climb Everest in Nepal. Ultimately, Christopher hopes to become the youngest person to scale all of the Seven Summits.
