- This is the inspirational story of climber Nick Allen, who went from outdoorsman to wheelchair-bound with multiple sclerosis to back to the life in the mountains he loves through sheer determination and grit. This book follows Nick's first faltering steps back into the back country and his decision to set up a trust so other MS sufferers can have outdoor experiences. And it follows his most astounding adventure yet: trekking to base camp at Everest, and - at considerable risk to his health - conquering the Himalayan peak, Imja Tse.
- Nick Allen is a passionate tramper and climber who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when he was just 25. He has set up a scholarship fund to help others with MS get outdoors.
