No one can fail to be inspired by what he achieved.' - The TimesFourteen mountains on Earth tower over 8,000 metres above sea level, an altitude where the brain and body withers and dies. Until recently, the world record for climbing them all stood at nearly eight years. So I announced I was summiting them in under seven months . . .People laughed. They told me I was crazy, even though I'd sharpened my climbing skills on the brutal Himalayan peaks of Everest and Dhaulagiri. But I possessed more than enough belief, strength and resilience to nail the job, having taken down enemy gunmen and terrorist bomb makers while serving with the Gurkhas and the UK Special Forces.I wanted to show the world a new truth: that with bravery and enough heart and drive, the impossible is possible.------Acclaim for Beyond Possible:'An inspirational study in leadership and a powerful testament to the human spirit at its very best.' - Mail on Sunday'Not only does Nims have exceptional physical stamina, he's also a leader with great skills in financial management and logistics.' - Reinhold Messner, the first person to climb all fourteen highest mountains in the world'The magnitude of his achievement is astonishing.' - Soldier Magazine'A Living Legend.' - Trail Magazine.
