Japanese 'oldest man on Everest'
A 71-year-old man from Japan has reportedly become the oldest person to climb to the summit of Mount Everest.
Retired teacher Katsusuke Yanagisawa scaled the 8,850m (29,035ft) Himalayan peak, breaking the record set by a 70-year-old Japanese man in May 2006.
"I was pretty much at ease mentally at the summit, like I could sing a song," he told a Japanese TV station.
Mr Yanagisawa said he climbed the Tibetan side of the peak with a team including New Zealanders and
Japanese.
"I was glad to reach the summit because, after that, all that was left was to climb down," he told a Japanese newspaper, adding that he spent 30 minutes at the top.
'My next dream'
He was inspired to attempt the climb, after scaling Mount Cho Oyu, the world's sixth highest mountain, which lies about 20km west of Mount Everest.
"It was my dream to climb Cho Oyu, a peak which was higher than 8,000 metres, when I reached the age 70," Mr Yanagisawa told Associated Press news agency.
From the summit of Cho Oyu, he caught a glimpse of Everest. "I found my next dream," he said.
Mr Yanagisawa reached Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, on Monday and is expected to file the paperwork needed to officially claim his record.
If confirmed, he will be the third Japanese person in a row to set a record as the oldest person to conquer Everest.
