About this ebook

Jules Mountain is a survivor. The odds of surviving his type of cancer were one in five. The odds of dying on Everest are one in 60, but these are severely shortened when factoring in an avalanche triggered by the 2015 Nepal earthquake. Jules lived to tell both tales, which he does in a way that conveys the agony and euphoria that extreme adventurers face, even when things go according to plan. And yet this is not merely an account of what happened in the aftermath of the most deadly disaster ever on the world's most iconic mountain. It is an exploration—internal as well as physical—of how logic, compassion and risk assessment are affected by altitude, vested interests and the stress of extreme circumstances.

Author

Jules Mountain

Jules Mountain is a maverick entrepreneur. In 2007 he was diagnosed with cancer while he was trying to sell his latest business. In spite of major surgery and chemotherapy he successfully sold the business just before the global financial crash. After a gruelling 12 months he recovered and set himself the new challenge of climbing Everest. He wanted to prove to himself that the cancer had in no way affected him and he was still as physically capable as he was before his diagnosis. He now advises other businesses and is a motivational speaker, as well as a loving father to his two daughters.
