Hi Ed, I've been following Romero's progress for a while. Seems quite the prodigy. Funny, I showed Hugh an article on him once, and his response was less than favorable. If Alex wants to do one of the Seven Summits, she'll be allowed to do Kilimanjaro, but that's it. Hugh's worried about the lack of oxygen up high. I think that what Romero's doing is wonderful, and that his parents should be praised for supporting him with his goals. I think Hugh feels the Everest risk is just too high.
