Oldest Man to Ever Climb Everest

A 71-year-old Japanese man has become the world's oldest person to climb Mount Everest, topping a feat set by a compatriot last year.

Former school teacher Katsusuke Yanagisawa reached the summit last Tuesday, a mountain tour group who organized his climb said on Tuesday. It said he climbed from the Tibetan side of the Himalayan peak.
