At Embark, we think just the trek to Everest Base Camp is an awesome feat, and a great trip. Climbing Mount Everest is, of course, a wholly different thing. But climbing it at age 73?

So a big hat tip to Tamae Watanabe, a retired office worker from Japan who made it up Everest this month.

And get this: she broke her own record! She climbed Everest 10 years ago when she was “just” 63. According to this article from CNN, she’s not exactly a newcomer to mountaineering, either:

Since the mid-1970s Watanabe has climbed some of the most famous mountains in the world, including no fewer than five of the 14 peaks that are more than 26,246 feet high.

Her conquests include Mount McKinley in Alaska, the Eiger in Switzerland and Lhotse, the fourth-tallest mountain in the world, which is also in Nepal.

Impressive, to say the very least!
