NOW Energy Bar announces the addition of teen mountain climber Jordan Romero to its growing roster of NOW athletes. Jordan is the first mountain climber to join Team NOW which is comprised of pro athletes from multiple sports including cycling, running, mountain biking, BMX riding, surfing and triathlon.

"I could not be more proud of being partnered up with NOW Energy Bar," stated Jordan. "I rarely find something I like. I love the bars! They are totally unique and the Manuka Honey is out of this world."

As the youngest person ever to climb Mt. Everest (age 13) and Mt. Kilimanjaro (age 10), Jordan and his team are the ultimate representation of the NOW Energy Bar philosophy of "No Opportunity Wasted." Continuing on that principle, Jordan has become an advocate for inspiring kids to set goals for themselves and make a plan of action to achieve them. Setting his goal of climbing the seven summits at age nine, Jordan coined the phrase "Find your own Everest" to motivate kids and adults to live life to the fullest.

Having already climbed six of the seven tallest summits in the world, Jordan and his team are currently en route to conquer their seventh summit, Mt. Vinson in Antarctica. Team Jordan is expected to reach the Mt. Vinson summit sometime from December 18-26 depending on weather conditions. To track their progress and updates visit www.nowenergybar.com .
