That makes Mount McKinley one of the Seven Summits, the tallest mountain on each of the seven continents. Nicole Lapin talks to a teenager who's been to the top of all of them.

NICOLE LAPIN, CNN.COM LIVE ANCHOR: 
Young People Who Rock, it's our weekly series featuring a different young person or people under 30 doing amazing things. Our Young Person Who Rocks this week is Samantha Larson, and at 18 years old, she is perhaps the youngest person to climb all Seven Summits of the world, including Mount Everest. Well, I have to ask you: Why do you do this? Why did you do this? Because it was never done before. And some people said it couldn't be done, especially by a young girl and an American.

SAMANTHA LARSON, MOUNTAIN CLIMBER: 
Well, when I initially got into climbing, I think a huge part of it for me was just spending the time with my dad. I climbed all the Seven Summits with my dad, and it was such an amazing hobby to share with him. And then through my climbs, I just grew to love it. And there is nothing like it. Just being out there, it's so beautiful. And, just, I love the challenges that it presents to me and I think it's a great sport.

LAPIN: 
I think so, too. And some people said it couldn't be done. Samantha Larson, you are proof that it could be done, and we love your sheer will and determination. And thank you so much for joining us. Our Young Person Who Rocks.
