Today it's all about the numbers. I've got about another hour to prepare for this once-in-a-century "event." I'm so excited! What you you doing to celebrate?
Malibu's Johnny Strange, 17, becomes youngest to bag Seven Summits
Three weeks ago, Malibu's Johnny Strange delivered a message from the top of Mt. Everest, stating, "Stop Genocide."
But he carries another message for fellow teenagers: Pursue your dreams and meet challenges head-on.
Strange, 17, after scaling the world's tallest peak at 29,035 feet, flew from the Himalayas to Australia and on Monday (Tuesday in Australia) strolled to the top of 7,310-foot Mt. Kosciuszko to become the youngest person in the world to have climbed the highest peak on seven continents, known collectively as the Seven Summits.
Strange beat a record held by Long Beach mountaineer Samantha Larson, who achieved the Seven Summits when she was 18.
Afterward Strange typed an e-mail to family and friends that read: "Never let anyone stifle your dreams no matter the feat, for if you have the heart and the courage, impossible is nothing.
