52nd birthday??

if he was 11 years old when he started climbing in 1982 then he could not have been 52 when he died. 156.8.251.250 (talk) 15:49, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Indeed. But the article doesn't say that — it says that he started climbing when he was eleven. It then goes on to say that he climbed a certain peak in 1982.

Sorry, I correct myself. Did not see the period/full stop. A result of old age! 156.8.251.250 (talk) 15:52, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

"In 1982, he climbed his first 8,000-meter peak ...". He did not start climbing in 1982. He started climbing at the age of eleven.
