About this deal

As someone who came to mountain climbing later in life (around age 30), he discovered he has an amazing lung capacity and could naturally climb more quickly and easily than others. However, this book so far has been the most self-centered, yet least articulate, autobiography I’ve ever read. A good read, exciting even if you followed Nims’ adventures and know what happened, and an inspirational message. Nimsdai is offering limited edition signed copies of Beyond Possible for the final time with 30% of proceeds going towards the Nimsdai Foundation which helps initiatives like the Big Mountain Cleanup. The way Nims used his Special forces skills to navigate through some gruelling and gnarly conditions on some of the world's highest and revered mountains , is a testament to his undying spirit , and his dedication.

Coincidentally, a friend mentioned that I should watch the documentary "14 Peaks" because it's so good. All the same, this true life story is very inspiring for those of us who have set limits to our capabilities.What Nims learned about himself and fellow climbers throughout this mission is shared for readers to discover that they too can conquer the impossible. Reinhold Messner, the first person to climb all fourteen highest mountains in the world’The magnitude of his achievement is astonishing. We use Google Analytics to see what pages are most visited, and where in the world visitors are visiting from. Not only does Nims have exceptional physical stamina, he's also a leader with great skills in financial management and logistics. After reading this, I have massive respect for him and the entire team of Sherpas who, working as a team, overcome a variety of struggles and life-threatening situations, and his family for letting him be who he is.

they seem to all be constantly wondering what he will do next) although he's really put sherpas on the map and painted a true picture of what summiting is like (join the queue please) let's be honest he found a hobby he loved and gave up his job to do it full time. Time and again he forces himself through everescalating pain barriers, driving himself and his loyal team on through willpower alone. If you're genuinely interested in mountaineering, especially 8,000 meter peaks--their challenges, history, and the complex psychology of those who climb them, you cannot read this in isolation.

what nimsdai did is amazing, if you've watched the Netflix documentary this book adds whole lot more about Nimsdais internal thoughts and motivation for projects possible. That's an example to all those who gave up without starting, no matter what are they trying to achieve. Or the many people who died on Everest in 2019--the book covers Nims' famous photo, but not the aftermath of it (read The Third Pole if you're interested in that! I’ve always loved reading classic mountaineering and other adventure books, even though I’m fairly feeble myself and not a fan of trying to climb anything. We are experiencing delays with deliveries to many countries, but in most cases local services have now resumed.

This was a record at the time of climbing, although it was broken in 2023 by Kristin Harila and Tenjen Sherpa, who summitted all 14 eight-thousanders in 92 days. The documentary '14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible' is quite similar to the book except for the interviews of Suchi Purja (Nirmal's wife), Reinhold Messner and a few others. They told me I was crazy, even though I’d sharpened my climbing skills on the brutal Himalayan peaks of Everest and Dhaulagiri.when you see these 8000m high mountains in front of you, you realize just how challenging a feat this actually was. As someone who intends to climb Everest Base Camp next year for the first time (covid dependant), this was so fascinating.

Indrani Dutta reviews Beyond Possible: One Soldier, Fourteen Peaks - My Life in the Death Zone, by Nimsdai Purja".The way Nims took all the setbacks and adversities ,and turned them into something positive everytime was simply commendable. I skipped to Dr Chin Wui Kin's rescue from Annapurna as I was in Nepal at the time and was following it closely but that piece of heroism was dealt with in just 10 pages, and Nims failed to mention that Dr Chin didn't survive. Purja, who had served with the Gurkhas and the UK Special Forces, learnt throughout his journey that with bravery and enough heart and drive, the impossible was possible. Apart from the impressive feats, the only redeeming sections of this book are those where he talks about his childhood or his family problems, thus making him appear human for some brief moments.
