An SBS Gurkha soldier’s account of how his tough Nepali upbringing and the lessons learned in his army life enabled his record-breaking conquest of all 14 of the world’s 8,000m peaks in under 7 months。
What happens when ambition meets limitless imagination?
Enter Project Possible: a seemingly unreachable goal to climb all fourteen “death zone” mountains in record time。 The previous record was seven years, ten months and six days。
I did it in six months。
This is the inside story of my incredible adventure。 As a kid in Nepal, barefoot in the mountains, I developed the resilience I needed to later join the Gurkhas, one of the most fearless forces in the British Army。 Then in the Special Boat Service I served in some of the world’s most dangerous warzones。
But my next challenge was even more of a test。
In Beyond Possible I’ll reveal how I conquered the world’s most dangerous peaks, breaking several world records in the process。 With my elite training, I was able to adapt quickly to the lethal conditions, rarely phased by the lung-burning temperatures or brutal winds。 Fear became irrelevant because I had belief。
In the death zone, I came alive。 But even after facing countless challenges, right at the peak of my achievements, my world fell apart when my mother was hospitalized。
But I survived and ultimately conquered the most deadly and hostile mountains on the planet。 Beyond Possible is my story。
