Katsusuke Yanagisawa

Congratulations to Katsusuke Yanagisawa for being today the man with the highest age on the highest mountain of the world.

Besides all the so called motivation websites and motivation trainers we see again, that the strongest power comes from the inside. If somebody decides to reach a target and puts all his will into this thing, then he can reach every goal. Bravo!

71-Year-Old Japanese Man Becomes Oldest Climber to Scale Everest

KATMANDU, Nepal — A 71-year-old Japanese mountain climber has apparently become the oldest person to reach the summit of Mount Everest.

"I didn't think I would make it," Katsusuke Yanagisawa told The Associated Press in the Nepalese capital of Katmandu on Tuesday, after returning safely from the world's highest mountain. "No more high mountains," he added.

He was 71 years, 2 months and 2 days old when he reached the 29,035-foot peak on May 22, beating the previous record set last year by another Japanese climber, Takao Arayama, who was 70 years, 7 months and 13 days old.
