Facing Up is the story of his adventure, his courage and humour, his friendship and faith. PRAISE FOR BEAR GRYLLS "Bear''s tale is by turns, hilarious and horrific." Daily Telegraph "Written with refreshing humility, this is a briskly told account not of conquering Everest, but of realising its power." Daily Mail "He writes convincingly of fear and doubt. This is an honest and compelling story." Ranulph Fiennes

In 1996, a twenty-three-year-old soldier in the British Army was flying over an African desert on a routine parachute jump. He had a lot to look forward to-a long career ahead of him in the army, a beautiful girlfriend back home. But those dreams were cut short when his parachute failed to open at eleven thousand feet. He had cracked three vertebrae and come within a fraction of severing his spinal cord. A grueling eight months of physical therapy followed. Bear had to retrain his muscles to do all of the things we take for granted-how to sit, stand, walk, even breathe. Eighteen months after his accident he overcame incredible odds to reach the peak of Everest. THE KID WHO CLIMBED EVEREST is a tale of courage and determination. Bear''s quest for funding for his expedition, his seventy days on Everest''s southeast face, and a narrow brush with death after a fall into a crevasse at nineteen thousand feet, make the story an essential read for anyone who''s ever had a dream and made it come true.
