Jordan Romero
Jordan Romero is a young mountaineer on a mission. The 11 year-old son of Team SOLE members Paul Romero & Karen Lundgren is planning to conquer the Seven Summits (the highest mountains in each of the seven continents). In 2006 Romero completed a record ascent of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa; he followed that up on April 6th, 2007 by climbing to the top of Mount Kosciuszko in Australia; and most recently summitted Mt. Elbrus July 11, 2007. Mt. Aconcagua in Argentina was his latest accomplishment and was completed on December 30th, 2007. The next climb on Jordan's list is Mt. Denali, Alaska, June of 2008.
“I hiked to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro with SOLE Custom Footbeds in my shoes. My feet didn't hurt a single bit.”
