85-yr-old dies while attempting to be oldest Everest climber
Nepal's 85-year-old mountaineer Min Bahadur Sherchan died on Saturday at the Mount Everest base camp while attempting to become the oldest person to climb the world's tallest peak. Sherchan, in 2008, at the age of 76 had become the then oldest climber to scale the peak. However, 80-year-old Japanese national Yuichiro Miura later broke Sherchan's record in 2013.
