Nims Purja MBE, a Gurkha veteran and mountain climbing legend.

When Nims the Forces he had his heart set on one thing. A challenge which took him to the highest peaks around the world and one that has consumed his every day since.

In 189 days, Nims completed his challenge to climb to the top of the 14 tallest mountains on the planet, beating the world record by more than seven years. 

We caught up with Nims earlier this year to chat about his incredible achievements, and his new book Beyond Possible: One Soldier, Fourteen Peaks – My Life in the Death Zone.
