16-year-old Climbs Two Giant Mountains Back To Back

Matt Moniz is only 16 years old, but that hasn’t stopped him from accomplishing wonders.matthew-moniz

In one week, Matt, who also happens to be an Eagle Scout, climbed a 27,766-foot mountain (Makalu), followed by a 26,905-foot mountain (Cho Oyu).

How significant is that? Matt is the youngest person ever to summit Makalu.

And, Makalu and Cho Oyu are the fifth- and sixth-tallest mountains in the world. Matt and his dad were going to summit Mount Everest, too, until an avalanche and the resulting devastation changed their plans.
