FILE - In this April 12, 2017 file photo, Nepalese mountain climber Min Bahadur Sherchan, 85, smiles as he finishes his morning yoga workout at his residence in Kathmandu, Nepal. Officials say Sherchan who was attempting to scale Mount Everest to regain his title as the oldest person to scale the world’s highest peak has died at the base camp on Saturday, May 6, but was not clear about the cause of the death. The grandfather of 17 and great-grandfather of six first scaled Everest in May 2008, when he was 76 and at the time declared the oldest climber. His record was broken by then 80-year-old Japanese Yuichiro Miura in 2013. (AP Photo/Niranjan Shrestha, File)
