Daaaaaang! Last week, an 80-year-old Japanese mountaineer became the oldest person to reach the top of Mount Everest: Yuichiro Miura, 80, scales Everest.
Let me say that again: the guy is 80 years old. Last Thursday, Yuichiro Miura conquered the 29,035-foot peak, becoming the oldest man to make it to the top. The previous record was held by Nepal's Min Bahadur Sherchan, who was 76 when he reached the summit in 2008.
Oh, by the way, this was Miura's third time spanking Everest's ass -- he previously climbed to the top when he was 70 and 75. How badass is that?
