About this listen

An SBS Gurkha soldier's account of how his tough Nepali upbringing and the lessons learned in his army life enabled his record-breaking conquest of all 14 of the world's 8,000m peaks in under 7 months.

What happens when ambition meets limitless imagination?

Enter Project Possible: a seemingly unreachable goal to climb all fourteen "death zone" mountains in record time. The previous record was seven years, ten months and six days.

I did it in six months.

This is the inside story of my incredible adventure. As a kid in Nepal, barefoot in the mountains, I developed the resilience I needed to later join the Gurkhas, one of the most fearless forces in the British Army. Then in the Special Boat Service I served in some of the world's most dangerous warzones.

But my next challenge was even more of a test.

In Beyond Possible I'll reveal how I conquered the world's most dangerous peaks, breaking several world records in the process. With my elite training, I was able to adapt quickly to the lethal conditions, rarely phased by the lung-burning temperatures or brutal winds. Fear became irrelevant because I had belief.

In the death zone, I came alive. But even after facing countless challenges, right at the peak of my achievements, my world fell apart when my mother was hospitalized.

But I survived and ultimately conquered the most deadly and hostile mountains on the planet. Beyond Possible is my story.

I love books about extreme challenges so was excited to listen to this one. At first I wasn't sure if the writing style was to my taste- it seemed a little overly self-focused (but why not?!) I decided to put this down ro cultural differences and not to let it get in tge way of listening to what had been achieved. As I continued with the book the true nature of the author and his aims stone through. This is an amazing achievement, achieved with kindness, honesty, integrity and honour. What an inspiring listen. I truly learned a lot.
