From Peak to Peak

“It’s important to try to encourage kids to go outside and protect public land.” – Matt Moniz Every state has its highest point, and Matt Moniz has climbed them all. By the age of 12, Matt had already earned the record of being the youngest climber to summit all 50 high points in the United States in the least amount of time. His journey, which lasted just 43 days, took him from the lowest high point in Florida to the highest point in Alaska. Matt's travels have extended beyond the U.S. as well; he has climbed Mount Elbrus in Russia and Mount Kilimanjaro and is planning to hike all of the Seven Summits. In 2014, he became the youngest climber to make the trek up Makalu in the Himalayas, the fifth highest mountain in the world.
