The Kid Who Climbed Everest Paperback
by Bear Grylls
Paperback
Description
In 1996, a twenty-three-year-old soldier in the British Army was flying over an African desert on a routine parachute jump.
He had a lot to look forward to-a long career ahead of him in the army, a beautiful girlfriend back home.
But those dreams were cut short when his parachute failed to open at eleven thousand feet.
He had cracked three vertebrae and come within a fraction of severing his spinal cord.
A grueling eight months of physical therapy followed.
Bear had to retrain his muscles to do all of the things we take for granted-how to sit, stand, walk, even breathe.
Eighteen months after his accident he overcame incredible odds to reach the peak of Everest.
THE KID WHO CLIMBED EVEREST is a tale of courage and determination.
Bear's quest for funding for his expedition, his seventy days on Everest's southeast face, and a narrow brush with death after a fall into a crevasse at nineteen thousand feet, make the story an essential read for anyone who's ever had a dream and made it come true.
