BANGOR — The youngest person to ever climb Mount Everest is set to climb New Hampshire’s highest mountain a day after climbing Maine’s highest peak.
Fifteen-year-old Jordan Romero of Big Bear, Calif., kicked off his 50-state hiking tour, “Find Your Everest,” on Tuesday by climbing Maine’s Mount Katahdin. He’s planning to climb New Hampshire’s Mount Washington on Wednesday.

Romero is hoping to inspire people to get outdoors, be healthy, set goals and do things as a family. To spread the message, he and his father and stepmother are climbing the highest mountain in each state and inviting people to climb with them.
The Bangor Daily News says Romero will be in Vermont on Thursday to climb Mount Mansfield.
