HIGH-JUMPER and punk(朋克) rocker Kimi Qiao, 22, is very confident. In fact, he's something of a big mouth about his talent. “No one will ever forget me,” said Qiao.

The youngest climber to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma, hugged (擁抱) his team members and told them he loved them. Then 13-year-old Jordan Romero took the satellite (衛(wèi)星) phone and called his mom.
