Double Amputee Conquers the Highest Peaks Across All Seven Continents
Hari Budha Magar, a former British Army soldier, has made history by becoming the first double above-knee amputee to climb the highest peak on every continent. His final ascent, Mount Vinson in Antarctica, was completed on Tuesday, December 12, 2023, marking the end of a decade-long journey filled with perseverance and resilience.
Magar’s story began in Nepal
Magar’s historic accomplishment stands as a testament to human endurance and the power of resilience. Having climbed the highest peaks on every continent, he continues to advocate for disability rights while encouraging others to overcome adversity. His journey from military service to global mountaineering success remains an extraordinary example of determination.
