There are a lot of people who debate about and have set opinions on what should be the right age to conquer the great mountain in Everest 2010. While the debate continues, more and more folks continue to attempt and conquer the mountain every year, in a bid to break the record for the youngest and the oldest person to scale Mount Everest. This is quite amazing and also dangerous as you now have kids as young as 13 trying to climb the mountain and set a record. There was Miss Ming Kipa from Nepal who has already scaled the mountain from the Northern or the Tibetan side as Nepal does not allow folks below the age of 16 to attempt a climb from its side of the Mountain.

On the other had, the 76 year old Min Bahadur Sherchan has the record for being the oldest person to have scaled Mount Everest in all its racy challenges and all the obstacles that come along the way.  It is now said that Sailendra Kumar Upadhyaya, the former Foreign Minister of the country of Nepal will make a bid on Everest, at the age of 80 to try and break Sherchan’s record.
