[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][b]一名80岁的日本登山者爬上珠穆朗玛峰顶峰,他成为最年长的世界最高峰登顶者。[/b][/size][/font][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]

[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Yuichiro Miura, who climbed [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/92820.html]Everest[/url] when he was 70 and then again at 75, reached the peak early on Thursday morning, his support team said. [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]He replaces Nepal's Min Bahadur Sherchan, who was 76 when he conquered Everest in 2008, as the record holder. [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]But Mr Sherchan, now 81, is set to tackle the mountain again next week. [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Mr Miura began his final charge for the 29,035-foot (8,850-meter) peak around 02:00 on Thursday, Japanese media reported, and arrived at the summit some seven hours later. [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"I made it!'' Mr Miura said, speaking to his family and supporters via satellite phone from the summit. [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"I never imagined I could make it to the top of Mt Everest at age 80. This is the world's best feeling, although I'm totally exhausted. Even at 80, I can still do quite well.''[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]A Nepalese mountaineering official also confirmed to the Associated Press news agency that Mr Miura had made it to the [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/92820.html]summit[/url].[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Mr Miura made the climb with three other Japanese climbers, including his son, and six Nepali Sherpas, Reuters news agency reported.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]An extreme skier who once held a world speed-skiing record, Mr Miura broke his pelvis and left thigh in 2009 and has also had a number of operations on his heart. [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Ahead of his climb, he said scaling Everest was about challenging his limits and honouring "the great Mother Nature". [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"If the limit of age 80 is at the summit of Mt. Everest, the highest place on earth, one can never be happier," he wrote on his expedition website.[p=30, 2, left][font=Arial, Helvetica, simsun, u5b8bu4f53][size=14px]更多[/size][/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, simsun, u5b8bu4f53][size=14px][b][size=5][color=#963c3c][url=http://www.enread.com/news/index.html]英语新闻[/url][/color][/size][/b][/size][/font][/p][/size][/font]
