Nepal’s 86-year-old mountaineer Min Bahadur Sherchan, once the oldest climber to scale the Mount Everest, died on Saturday at its base camp, leaving his dream to re-conquer the tallest peak unfulfilled.
Sherchan, a former British Gurkha who aimed at reclaiming the crown of oldest climber to ascend the 8,848-meter peak, died at 5.14 pm local time while climbing. He had left Kathmandu on April 16 to scale the peak. But the former soldier could not fulfill his dream to regain his lost title of being the oldest climber to scale the Everest. Sherchan scaled the Everest at the age of 76 in 2008 to enter the Guinness Book of World Records in 2010
