Mark Inglis mountaning adventure
Mountaineering again became a focus of his life
– with Mark reaching the summit of Mt. Cook
(3759m), New Zealand’s highest mountain, on
January 7, 2002 after a previous attempt was
thwarted by damage to his stumps. The climb
was as much a test for Mark’s newly-designed
technical climbing legs as a test of himself. The
climb and its build-up were recorded and
played as a documentary on TV1 in April of
2002. During the preparation for the climb the
BBC filmed Mark as part of the Ray Mears
Extreme Survival show for BBC2.
On the 27th of September 2004, Mark stood on
the summit of Cho Oyu, at 8201m the world’s
sixth highest mountain, and looked directly
across at Everest, only about 650m higher, and
knew that what he was seeing was his next
challenge. On May 16, 2006 Mark became the
first double amputee to conquer Mt Everest.
Mark completed his climb on two carbon-fibre
artificial legs especially adapted for climbing. He
snapped one of them early on in the climb but
with the help of his climbing colleagues he was
able to repair it and continue the ascent.
 When Mark was asked what does it take
to climb the Mt Everest despite his or
her shortcomings, the 60-year-old
mountaineer said that all it takes is one
opportunity. Mark said that no matter
how difficult the situations are, there is
always an opportunity at the end of it,
one needs to be an opportunist to grab
that with both hands. Life is tough for
everyone, and for some, its tougher
than others but that doesn’t mean that
Mark also talked about the diverse
career choices he has made in the past.
Mark said that he loves to learn and the
opportunity to learn is the most
important opportunity that one can
have. And for Mark, he took upon the
opportunities that came along. Mark
jokingly urged the people of India to
read his books as they sell very well.

inspires many
with his story Mark lost both his legs in 1982 when he
along with his partner and fellow
climber Philip Doole got stuck in a snow
cave on Mount Cook. Mark and Philip
were stuck there for 13 days due to an
intense blizzard. When the rescue team
reached there they had to amputate
both his legs because they became
badly frostbitten while awaiting help. In
2002, Mark reached Mount Cook and
completed the summit successfully on
January 7. In May 2006, Mark became
the first man to climb the Mt Everest as
double leg amputee.
