Climbing the Mount Everest is no child's play. But for 16-year-old Arjun Vajpayi, it was.

Young Arjun ,a Class XII student at Noida's Ryan International School may have scaled the Everest on 22nd May,2010 with ease.

But the record did not last long as hours later a 13-year-old American boy, Jordan Romero, broke Arjun's record.

Both Sherpa and Bajpayee climbed the mountain from southern side.

Bajpayee, became the youngest Indian to climb Everest via the traditional South Col route in Nepal. He equalled the record of a Nepalese Tsheri who also climbed the peak when he was sixteen.

On the same day as Jordan, Nepali famous climber Apa Sherpa broke his own record and climbed Mount Everest for the 20th time.
