Kid Who Climbed Everest: The Incredible Story Of A 23-Year-Old's Summit Of Mt. Everest

The incredible true story from the host of TV's Man vs. Wild

He was once a critically-injured Special Forces soldier who endured eight months of grueling therapy from a broken back in 1996 when his parachute failed to open over the African desert. But Bear Grylls was determined to scale new heights - literally - in his riveting story of hope and true grit. He raised the money on his own, spent seventy days on the dangerous southeast face, and became the youngest Briton to scale Everest. Grylls is now an enormously popular television host who shares fascinating survival stories with massive audiences every week. These adventures have made him one of the most sought-after motivational speakers in the world and have given this, his first book, a new perspective. It's a must-read for anyone who has had a dream and worked hard to make it come true.
