At 7.22am on May 26th 1998, Bear entered The Guinness Book of Records as the youngest, and one of only around thirty, British climbers to have successfully climbed Everest and returned alive. He was only 23 years old. The actual ascent took Bear over ninety days of extreme weather, limited sleep and running out of oxygen deep inside the 'death zone' (above 26,000 feet). On the way down from his first reconnaissance climb, Bear was almost killed in a crevasse at 19,000 feet. The ice cracked and the ground disappeared beneath him, he was knocked unconscious and came to swinging on the end of a rope. His team-mate and that rope saved his life. The expedition was raising funds for the Rainbow Trust and Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital. Previously, in 1997, Bear had become the Youngest Briton to climb Mount Ama Dablam in the Himalayas (22,500 feet), a peak once described by Sir Edmund Hillary as unclimbable'.

The Man vs. Wild. The man who drinks his own piss. That's what most people know about Bear Grylls or at least what they think about at the mention of his name. But here we get a good look at who the real Bear Grylls is. The former SAS soldier who (at the time) became the youngest person ever to climb Mt. Everest. The story of the man before he became a reality TV star.

This autobiography reads more like a motivational book when you learn all his adversity and what he has accomplished. His drive is inspiring and he sees the world in such an optimistic and adventurous way. This book only covers a few of his adventures as he has lived a life that could fill multiple books. Really enjoyed this.

Opening line:
"Walter Smiles, my great-grandfather, came from a strong line of self-motivated, determined folk: not grand, not high society, but no-nonsense, family-minded go-getters."
