This is the inspirational story of climber Nick Allen, who went from outdoorsman to wheelchair-bound with multiple sclerosis to back to the life in the mountains he loves through sheer determination and grit.
This book follows Nick’s first faltering steps back into the back country and his decision to set up a trust so other MS sufferers can have outdoor experiences.
And it follows his most astounding adventure yet: trekking to base camp at Everest, and — at considerable risk to his health — conquering the Himalayan peak, Imja Tse.
Nick Allen is a passionate tramper and climber. Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at the age of 25, Nick thought his climbing dreams were over. Six years on and with the help of rehabilitation specialists, Nick has been able to get back outdoors, climbing and tramping. Nick is also passionate about helping others and has set up a scholarship fund, administered by Multiple Sclerosis NZ, to help others with MS overcome the obstacles that prevent them from getting outdoors. You can find out more Mastering Mountains at masteringmountains.org. Nick lives in Palmerston North.
