When Hari Budha Magar lost both of his legs to an IED in Afghanistan while serving with the British Army, he worried he may never walk again, let alone climb mountains.

⛰️ Fast forward to today, and Hari is now the first double above-knee amputee to conquer the highest peaks on all seven continents.

  • His journey started in 2018, when Hari first applied to climb the world’s highest mountain. He later summited Mt. Everest in 2022.

The climber hopes his journey inspires other people with disabilities to get out there and do what they love. 

“My message to the world is to everyone, whether living with a disability or able-bodied. Anything is possible with enough determination,” he shared. “Yes, you might need to adapt your approach, get help, or think differently, but you can do it!”
