Record breaker: Tamae Watanabe, 73, has become the oldest women ever to reach the top of Everest – breaking her own record

A 73-year-old pensioner has become the oldest person to climb Mount Everest – beating her own record in the process.

Tamae Watanabe, from Japan, reached Everest’s 8,850-metre-high summit from the northern side of the mountain in Tibet today with four other team members.

A decade ago she became the oldest women to reach the top at the age of 63 but today smashed the record.

Ang Tshering of the China Tibet Mountaineering Association in Nepal said that all the team members were in a good condition.

They are now making their way back to the base of the mountain.

Watanabe and her team left the last high altitude camp located at 8,300 metres (27,225 feet) on Friday night and climbed all night before reaching the summit this morning.

Weather conditions have improved throughout the week making the effort possible.

Teams have begun reaching the summit even from the Nepalese side in the southern of the mountain, according to Nepal’s mountaineering department.

The first teams from the Nepalese side reached the summit on Friday, and many more made it today.
