I personally think that he can do it. He seems mature, determined, and fit enough. I just wish my dad would let me do this.

With all do respect Scott, first of all you are against the 13 year old hiking
but then because you don't like my wording, I'm arrogant.
I would think the people who think a climbing resume with some impressive peaks on it, is needed to have an opinion on this are the arrogant ones
I guess from a much older perspective I can say that it can be a mistake to get too wrapped up in your kid's climbing resume, or your kid's sports achievements, or whatever.

Did you just quote someone from FRANCE on subject of WWII/war in general???? France surrendered without a fight as I remember.

She, her father, her instructor... all died in a crash half way across.
The FAA made new rules after that.
No sooner than this 13-year old succeeds, some sick parent will try to get their 10-yr old to climb Mt. Everest. On and on it goes...
STOP trying to be the youngest person to do THIS and THAT!
These kids belong in school! Got a problem with that?

1940s WWII timeline: ...
I think if you are to quote someone from that era it would have to be someone from Soviet Union, Britain, or US...those 3 actually lasted : )
