- Former rugby player Ed Jackson broke his neck and spine after diving into the shallow end of a swimming pool.
Now he's become the first quadriplegic to reach a summit of seven thousand metres, by climbing Mount Himlung Himal in Nepal.
He told Kay Burley how after his accident he became focussed on what he could do, rather than what he couldn't.
He founded the charity Millimetres 2 Mountains, to spread the inspirational power of nature.

Anyone notice how he corrected her on it being 7000 meters and not feet, then she doubled down and repeated 7000feet 🤣🤦🏻♂️💀
Nepal 🇳🇵 ❤️
Is he the commentator in C4 during Beijing2022 Paralympics?
Yes
I don’t think I know what a quadriplegic is 🤷🏻♂️
Quad is four so a quadriplegic is someone whose lost the use of all four limbs
Is that woman trying to sound as disingenuous as possible deliberately or is she just giving up on life completely?
No story and not a quadriplegic
No story here, not a quadriplegic
the only way I would support this type of climbing, would be of the climbers actually attempted the climbs without the sherpas, putting them on danger of death as well!!!🤨
without them, I'd like to see just how many ppl survive!! if they die, what pittance do they receive?
