A former extreme skier became the oldest person to climb Mount Everest on Thursday at the age of 80.
Japanese Yuichiro Miura also conquered the 29,028ft peak at 70 and 75, the Mirror reported.
But his record may not last, his old rival Min Bahadur Sherchan, 81, is hot on his heels.
Miura said that he never imagined he could make it to the top of Mount Everest at age 80.
He first broke the record in 2003 at age 70.
