A 17 year old is the youngest to climb the 7 summits, but 13 year old Jordan Romero of Big Bear just has Everest and Vinson to do. He is leaving for Everest on March 10.

After that they can become motivational speakers or guides.
They can decide to climb the highest point in every state, http://surgent.net/highpoints - or all the 14000 and 13000 foot peaks in California and Colorado.
No one has ever climbed the second highest peak on every continent.
