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.? ? I made it! Mr Miura said, speaking to his family and supporters via satellite phone from the summit.? ? I never imagined I could make it to the top of Mt Everest at age 80. This is the worlds best feeling, although Im totally exhausted. Even at 80, I can still do quite well. ? A Nepalese mountaineering official also confirmed to the Associated Press news agency that Mr Miura had made it to the summit. ? Mr Miura made the climb with three other Japanese climbers, including his son, and six Nepali Sherpas, Reuters news agency reported. ? 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.? ? Ahead of his climb, he said scaling Everest was about challenging his limits and honouring the great Mother Nature.? ? 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.
