The inspirational true story behind Netflix's 14 Peaks documentary, this spellbinding memoir recounts Nepali mountaineer Nims Purja's death-defying quest to conquer Everest, K2, and twelve more 8,000-meter summits in record time.

This riveting memoir tells the extraordinary tale of how the late Nims Purja summited all 8,000-meter Death Zone peaks in fewer than seven months--and reveals the extraordinary mindset that enabled him achieve his dreams.

In 2019, Purja, a Nepali former soldier in the Gurkha and Special Boat Service units of the U.K Special Forces, set a world record, climbing all 14 of the world's 8,000-meter Death Zone peaks in six months and six days. In 2021, he achieved the first-ever winter ascent of Pakistan's K2, another mountaineering milestone. And in 2024, he summited the 8,000-meter peaks again--this time, without supplementary oxygen--and set another world record.

In these spellbinding pages, Purja reveals the man behind the climbs, explaining how his early life in Nepal and training as an elite sol­dier allowed him to realize his ambitions. He explains why lead­ership, integrity, and collaboration drive the world's greatest climbing feats. And he shows how persistence, openness, and self-confidence provide what it takes to go miles beyond the possible.
