In 2008 I ran in to a young Brit on Aconcagua that was trying the same thing. He was at about 18,000 feet climbing with what looked like several family members, friends and guides and was having a difficult time. The lead climber didn't think he had a chance but they kept going up. Never found out if he made it to the top of Aco or ever went to Everest.

She said her son is taking two months of homework to Nepal so he can keep up with school.
