This record was later broken. However, on May 26, 2008, Miura once again successfully summited Mountain Everest at the age of 75. On May 23, 2013 Miura again became the oldest person to reach the summit of Mount Everest at the age of 80.
He also became the first person to ski on Mount Everest on May 6, 1970.
He descended nearly 4,200 vertical feet from the South Colonel (elevation over 8,000 m (26,000 ft)). This feat was documented in 1975, in the film The Manitoba Who Skied Down Everest.
Keizo Miura, Japanese skier, was his father.
