'You're just doing everything you can to survive': How a quadriplegic former rugby player conquered a Himalayan mountain
CNN
Stranded overnight on a Himalayan mountain without water, food or tents in temperatures that plummeted to -30 degrees Celsius (-22 degrees Fahrenheit), Ed Jackson and his team took it in turns to keep each another awake in case they fell asleep and did not wake up again.
Jackson was attempting to scale Himlung Himal, a 7,126-meter peak in Nepal close to the Tibetan border.
His team had been missing on the mountain for two days at the start of April, and the situation had become so desperate that prayer flags had been put out in their honor back at Base Camp.
