Double Amputee Makes History as First to Climb Everest
- Hari Budha Magar, a double above-the-knee amputee and former Gurkha soldier, became the first amputee to reach the summit of Mount Everest.
- Magar lost both legs while serving in Afghanistan and has since dedicated his life to raising awareness for people with disabilities.
- Despite facing challenges like running out of oxygen and bad weather, Magar persevered and achieved his goal of reaching the top of the world's tallest mountain.
- Magar had to fight legal issues in Nepal, where disabled climbers were banned from ascending high peaks until the Supreme Court overturned the ban.
- Now at the summit, Magar pledges to continue advocating for people with disabilities and helping others achieve their dreams.
