KATMANDU, Nepal – A Japanese climber claimed he climbed a Himalayan peak in Nepal to become the first person from his country to scale the 14 tallest mountains of the world.

Hirotaka Takeuchi said he scaled the 8,167-meter-high (26,788-foot-high) Mount Dhaulagiri in Nepal to complete his mission of climbing the 14 tallest mountains. He began his effort in 1995.
