You're right, kiev098, soccer, basketball or a 90 mph fastball is the same. Football and rugby or river rafting even. My kids snow board and ski, they've body surfed in large waves in Mexico, zip-lined 200 feet above the floor. There's a difference, too bad you don't see it.
I am actually 100% sure there are more skiing/snowboarding fatalities a year around the world than there are mountaineering fatalities. In the resort where I had a season pass this year (Heavenly) a VERY experienced skier died this year. Maybe you should be arrested for letting your kids do this(sarcasm)?

In your opinion there is "more than 75% chance he will doe or be hauled up that freaking mountain with severe consequences.????"
1) There is a chance to die, BUT death vs summits rate since 1990 is 4.4%..Where the hell did you get 75?
2)Please find me a picture of one person getting hauled up mt. Everest. There are hundreds of people attempting to summit during weather windows. If there was someone getting a piggy back ride there owuld be 100s of pictures and stories about it online, who would consent to that emberassment in order to get to the top?
"these mountains were around 2 miles lower than the summit of Everest"
do some research before you talk please..Aconcagua (highest he has been) is 6,962 m, Everest is 8,848 M..1,886M higher. 1KM=1000M 1mile=1,609) so it is about 1mile higher.
Who are you to decide what he can or can't do? Why he is doing it?
Why did you go to mt. Washington?! A guide died there last year, how irresponsible of you to be doing things like that! Or snowboarding?! People die every year skiing/snowboarding! Why do you risk your life?
Sit at home, get some weed, and eat a burger with your buddies while watching family guy! And don't come out of your house, because if you do there is a chance to be hit by a drunk driver! Or be raped by a pedophile! So stay home and watch everything on TV! Enjoy your life!
All of us can have different opinions, but you guys can't speak for this kid. You don't know his intentions, neither do I though. But how many of you stood on top of Denali, Kilimanjaro, Elbrus and Aconcagua?

Just started ASSHOLE, but check resume in October.
I wouldn’t take a 13 year old up Everest either, but even so your attitude comes off as pretty arrogant. especially considering your “climbing resume”. 100 (all walk up) mountains in the next three years and you are trying to pass it off as some kind of “accomplishment”? Give us a break. That’s about even with my five year old girl and no doubt most of them were harder than many you have done. That’s my five year old though; if you compared it to my seven year old there’s no contest.
There’s nothing at wrong with being a noob, as long as the arrogance/attitude doesn’t come with it. In fact, I’m always glad to hear people (with a good attitude at least) take up climbing mountains at an older age. To set the record straight, I don't consider myself to be some expert climber either.
Anyway, check back in October; good idea. I’ll tell you what. We’ll check back in October and compare your climbing resume with the ones of my five year old girl and seven year old boy. Sounds more that fair. In fact to be even more fair and generous, I’ll post you a link so you can keep up as time goes on.
In the words of my seven year old; “Loose the ‘tude dude”.
Otherwise, see you in October for comparison. I wish you luck.

Just in case you find the above unfair, we can compare the log when they were ages 4-5 and 6-7:
