Response to 70-Year-Old Yuichiro Miura Oldest to Summit Everest (and first father/son to jointly)

Congratulations to Mr. Miura and the rest of his expeditionary team for a successful conquest of Everest. He also reached the summit with his son, Gota Miura, 33, and alpine photographer Noriyuki Muraguchi, 46. The expedition achieved two other records. Yuichiro and Gota became the Japanese father-and-son to reach the summit, and Muraguchi made his third successful ascent of Everest (also summiting in 1998 and 2000), making him the first Japanese citizen to reach the summit of Everest three times.

Read about it here.

This successful ascent shows that you are never too old to ascend Everest.
