  The Guinness world record for the oldest man to climb Mt Everest is Yuichiro Miura (Japan, b. 12 October 1932), who reached the summit on 23 May 2013 at the age of 80 years 223 days.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the Oldest woman to climb Everest, set by Tamae Watanabe (Japan) (b. 21 November 1938), who reached the summit of Mt Everest at the age of 63 years 177 days at 9:55 a.m. on 16 May 2002.

  Miura was accompanied by his son Gota Miura, a professional skier, and eight other climbers on top of the world.

  Local media reports quoted Miura's website where he termed his attempt to scale Everest at such an advanced age as a "challenge to his own ultimate limit" and as a "honour to the great Mother Nature".

  "And if the limit of age 80 is at the summit of Mt. Everest, the highest place on earth, one can never be happier," he said in his website.
