Nepalese man becomes the oldest Everest climber

Setting an exclusive example of unparallel grit and determination, a 76- year- old Nepalese man has achieved an extraordinary feat of setting his feet on the summit of the world's highest peak -The Everest. With this feat Min Bahadur Sherchan, a retired army officer from western Nepal, became the oldest man to climb the Mount Everest. He broke the earlier record set last year by a Japanese climber, Katsusuke Yanagisawa, who was 71 at the time of his ascent.
