For Chinese climber Xia Boyu, reaching Everest’s top has always been so close, yet so far. But not this time.
The 69-year-old became the first double amputee to summit Mount Everest from the Nepal side on May 14 after five total attempts.
In 1975, on Xia’s first Everest climb, he suffered severe frostbite in both feet, which resulted in the removal of his legs. He had given his sleeping bag to a climber on his team.
