"A TEENAGE mountaineer is attempting to become the youngest person ever to conquer the highest peak in each continent - after learning the ropes in Snowdonia.
Rhys Jones, 19, flew to Antarctica yesterday, where the sixth leg of his epic adventure will see him attempt to climb the frozen continent's highest point, Mount Vinson. "

I wish him good luck and safe climbing!
Further on he mentions that only Everest is still to come (if he makes Vinson, where the weather currently is very bad), Everest.
He says that he needs 40.000 british pounds for that. I wonder why :?)
That is 70.000 dollar! He can take 2 friends for that on our expedition and still have one personal Sherpa each

.
I really have no clue why people would spend more than double than they need... Anyone know Rhys?
Cheers,
Harry
