A Saudi man in his 60s went to Mount Everest, the highest mountain on earth, to mark his 42nd wedding anniversary, a Saudi newspaper reported on Sunday.

Ahmed Al Gamdi joined 10 other Saudi adventurers at their camp on the mountain in Nepal for the climb that lasted eight days, ‘Sada’ said.

“Gamdi said he decided to climb Everest to mark his 42nd wedding anniversary. He sent a film and pictures to his family about the journey,” it said.
