Canadian becomes world’s oldest climber to scale magnificent sever
A 69-year old man has become the oldest North American to reach all seven of the world’s highest summits. Werner Berger from Newmarket, Ontario climbed the 29,035-footsummit of Nepals’ Mt. Everest on Tuesday. Berger, who spends most ofhis time in Yardley, Pa., was emotionally overwhelmed by hisachievement. “There really aren’t any words to describe it,” Berger toldCTV’s Canada AM. “The most spectacular part was standing on the topsummit and looking across the traverse… and then seeing the summitapproximately an hour away and knowing…that I was going to stand ontop of the world. It was an unbelievable experience.”
