A gripping, powerful and inspiring story of endurance, triumph, and an against-the-odds achievement, from legendary mountaineer Nimsdai Purja MBE. ' In many ways, the most obvious next step would have been to re-run Project Possible, only faster. But really, when considering my logical next steps for an expedition to take me into 2020, or 2021, one idea stood out from all the others. K2- Winter. ' After an incredible 16-year military career, Nimsdai Purja since gone on to become a historic mountaineer by accumulating a growing list of record-breaking summits. From summiting Mount Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu within 5 days, to climbing the world' s fourteen highest peaks in just seven months, Nims has achieved a new possible. Now, in a follow-up to his 2020 bestselling book, he recounts the setbacks, triumphs, the high and lows he and his team overcame to make history and become the first mountaineers to summit K2 in winter. Guaranteed to make you rethink what is possible, Quitting' s Not in the Blood will reveal how the greatest record-breaking mountaineer was able to accomplish his biggest achievement to date through resilience, collaboration and a positive mental attitude.
