Part 3, Chapter 10 Summary

In April of 2007, Jordan and his family head to Australia with a family friend for the next climb. They only spend a few days there, and the hike up to the top of Mount Kosciuszko isn’t quite as exciting as Jordan’s first climb, but Jordan is proud to have accomplished it. When the family encounters a strong storm on the way up the mountain, Jordan wants to turn back, but they miraculously happen upon an emergency shelter and spend the night there. The shelter was made in dedication to a couple who died on the mountain without shelter in the hopes that others would not. When Jordan and the others reach the top the next morning, it is too foggy to see and the wind is strong, but they take some pictures and enjoy the moment. Afterward, they head to Australia Zoo, a wildlife preserve that Steve Irwin’s parents founded and that he worked to make one of the best in the world. Jordan gets to feed elephants and pet kangaroos, and someone in a local shop even recognizes him as the boy who climbed Kilimanjaro.
