New Records on top of the world, Mt. Everest

Two new records were set by two Nepali mountaineers on the top of Mt. Everest.

The first record was set by Appa Sherpa, 48, who climbed the highest peak for the 18th time.

The second record was set by a 76 year old (turning 77 in a few days) senior Min Bahadur Serchan. Sherchan has broken the previous record held by Japanese schoolteacher Katsusuke Yanagisawa, 71, who scaled the Everest in the last year. It is told that Serchan is in good health after the climb in spite of his age.
