A 7-year-old boy reached the summit of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park on Thursday night after beginning the climb on Sunday. Joey Danger Evermore started the ascent as a 6-year-old and turned 7 on Wednesday while on the mountain. He completed the climb with his older brothers Sam Evermore and Sylvan Evermore, his father Joe Evermore, and a documentary crew.
Joe Evermore previously told ABC News that each of his children takes on one "colossal goal" each year once they turn 5. He said the goals must be "remarkable, something we can hang on the wall, and most importantly -- you can't die, so you have to do it safely."
