Mark Inglis, the 47 year old double amputee from New Zealand, has summited Everest! The BBC has picked up his story, and has got the low down on this historic climb. Inglis lost his legs after getting caught on Mt. Cook in bad weather, and being forced to take shelter in an ice cave. For two weeks! Despite that, he has continued his climbing expeditions, and has even been a guide. I salute his perseverance. He should be an inspiration to us all.
