Welcome to The Death Zone.
Fourteen 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.
Throughout 2019, I came alive in the death zone. Soon after, I was showing the world a new truth: that with bravery and enough heart and drive, the impossible was possible...

About the authors
Nimsdai Purja MBE made history by smashing the last great mountaineering feat –
summitting K2 in winter.
Together with his all-Nepalese team, they became the first ten to stand on the top of the
Savage Mountain in extreme winter conditions in January 2021. He also famously toppled
the record for summiting all 14 of the highest ‘death zone’ peaks in the world in just six
months and six days. The previous record was just shy of eight years.
Known for his positive mindset, the former Gurkha and UK Special Forces operative (SBS),
aims to inspire everyone that no matter where they come from, or what their goal is, that
they can achieve it.
Beyond Possible tells Nimsdai’s incredible story, from his days growing up in Chitwan in
Nepal, serving in the Gurkhas and the UK Special Forces, to discovering his love of big
mountain climbing. It follows him throughout his 14 Peaks Challenge, where he went from
an unknown in the world of climbing to breaking multiple world records and helping rescue
fellow climbers along the way.
This book is a must for everyone looking for inspiration to help them achieve their new
possible. Nimsdai is one of the directors of Elite Exped, guiding adventurers to summit the
world’s biggest mountains. You can find out more here: eliteexped.com
Nimsdai also recently set up the Nimsdai Foundation, dedicated to helping protect, preserve
and restore the Big Mountain environments – his first mission, The Big Mountain Cleanup,
aims to remove rubbish from the Big Mountains. You can find out more here:

The accomplishments are clearly phenomenal as you'll likely know, but as a book I found it lacking in scope.
There is little technical detail of the mountaineering. The entire ascent of one peak (Manaslu) is written as follows: "I climbed to the very top and made my point". Earlier peaks have more words given to them, but the latter ones are largely give far too little justice and there is little interesting content here. Throughout there's interestingly little sense of the awe inspiring landscape conveyed.
The book is too brief when you consider the monumental story and written too simply. If Nims and the publishers had taken more time rather than rushing it out I think it could have been much improved. This is perhaps why the content decreases as the journey progresses.
There are rare moments of introspection when the overwhelming self belief drops away and he opens up about a mistake, for example a fall when unclipping on Nanga Parbat but this scope of openness isn't there enough. It is only when unexpected and unplanned things happen that the book truly comes alive.
The events that transpired on Annapurna, Kanchenjunga are phenomenal to read about and the sense of being there is strong. What happens is remarkable and the strength of Nims and his team is truly incredible.
Talking of his team, he is very proud to highlight and promote the skills of fellow Nepalese climbers and Sherpas which is great to see. Their own stories would be interesting to put down on paper for a more rounded account of some of the amazing ascents and descents and how they found the experience. Some of the team can be found on Instagram etc and are well worth following by the way. Input from them to the book would have been useful I feel.
Throughout following his achievements through social media the non stop positivity and (for want of a better term) self-aggrandisement was totally understandable and a strong thing to see. There was a huge sense of purpose which was obviously important to Nims own confidence and to pull in the financial support necessary.
This same style runs throughout the vast majority of the book and truth be told is over the top and off-putting with the repeated soundbites that an uninformed reader would frankly put down as ego.
What is perhaps most interesting is that these traits are undoubtedly what has enable Nims to be able to achieve all that he has (in and out of mountaineering). With reflection it does prove the power of self belief and self confidence which is Nims' strong message throughout the book. He's the only one to have done this journey and that's clearly what it takes.


Never the less a great achievement by the author and some people may be inspired by the content.


Not content with that, he moved on to the next challenge, and on 16 January 2021, Nims led a team of Sherpa climbers to the first ever winter ascent of K2!
Just blown away by this man who came from the most humble of beginnings in a small village in Nepal. I think a BBC documentary should be made about his life.
Really hoping that Nims writes another book about his K2 ascent and this time includes more detail about the scenery, weather and food.
