Have you heard about Mark Inglis? The man who in 1982 had to spend thirteen and a half days huddled in an ice cave near the summit of Aoraki Mount Cook during a major storm.
The frostbite that he suffered during that time cost him both his legs below the knee but this did not hold him back. After being fitted with new artificial legs he went on to climb the highest mountain in the world – Mt Everest.
High-Tech Legs on Everest is a great story about everything Mark went through to achieve his goals included a day by day account of his climb on Everest with lots of interest bits he found along the way. And let’s not forget about those amazing high-tech legs that got him there.
