Octogenarian Japanese Climber Aims For Everest

The word that seems to be echoing from this dear devil mind from Japan is, if you  aim high you will reap the  rewards and that's what actually what he is doing. An 80-year old Japanese mountain climber who has had heart surgery four times is heading to Mount Everest to try for a third ascent of the world's highest peak and will become the oldest persons to reach the top if he succeeds. Yuichiro Miura climbed to the summit of the 29,035-foot  mountain in 2003 and 2008. He skied down Everest from an altitude of 26,246 feet in 1970. For me, what he is doing is a true testimony of the human mind and spirit. He is doing something that will surpass him long after he is gone. Best of Luck!
