But this isn’t the extent of his achievements – Inglis having survived 13 days trapped on Mount Cook and becoming the first person to summit Mount Everest as a double amputee.

He told Piney that losing your legs is hard, but if you’re going to have them cut off at 23, the best person to do it to is a young mountaineer.
