Beyond Possible: '14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible' Now On Netflix

Product Information

Nims is a strange mixture of confidence and humility – he does it all for his community of Nepalese sherpas, unsung heroes of so many feted climbs by European and American mountaineers, and to raise awareness of climate change, and to show people you can do anything and inspire people, he loves his mum and dad and his siblings and wife, but also he refuses to show fear, takes command of situations, has to stop himself acting recklessly to prove a point and is an ex-Gurkha and Special Boat Services soldier. I found this last bit particularly interesting as he was often disappointed in the wider climbing community when they wouldn't rush to help those in distress as he felt they should. skips the most harrowing part of K2, including the section climbers have to shimmy across single-file where 4 or 5 people died in 2008 alone.

However, nothing takes away the the credit which goes to you and your team of Project Possible for inspiring millions of people to realise their potential, and sending out a strong message about climate change and preservation of our habitat.

It just would have made the book much more interesting and deeper to cover this contextual information--it both augments how incredible his feat was, but also it's important to NEVER forget how deadly these mountains can be. I hope your inspirational story goes far and wide and the Nepalese climbing community gets the recognition they deserve. I also would love to read his account about the recent achievement when his crew summited K2 on winter. Breaking several world records in the process, Nimsdai Purja pushed himself to the limit and was able to adapt to the lethal conditions, lung burning temperatures and brutal winds. Massive respect for the entire team of Sherpas who were there with Nims , working as a team in true sense in times of adversity and life threatening situations.

He was also handling all the logistics, trying to secure sponsorships and taking loans to fund this effort himself. He used his adventures to bring attention to climate change, and has so far climbed fourteen of the highest mountains in the world.But rather than knocking a second or two off an already incredible time, I’d promised to smash all 26.

There is some information about his time in Nepal, and what life was like there, and I would have gladly had a few more chapters about that. Mountaineering is the subject that I really like and more of that I like books about survival, human abilities, and those doing impossible because that's so inspirational for me.
