{"product_id":"9781493040957","title":"Kid Who Climbed Everest","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1996, a twenty-three-year-old soldier in the British Army was flying over an African desert on a routine parachute jump. He had a lot to look forward to-a long career ahead of him in the army, a beautiful girlfriend back home. But those dreams were cut short when his parachute failed to open at eleven thousand feet. He had cracked three vertebrae and come within a fraction of severing his spinal cord. A grueling eight months of physical therapy followed. Bear had to retrain his muscles to do all of the things we take for granted-how to sit, stand, walk, even breathe. Eighteen months after his accident he overcame incredible odds to reach the peak of Everest. THE KID WHO CLIMBED EVEREST is a tale of courage and determination. Bear's quest for funding for his expedition, his seventy days on Everest's southeast face, and a narrow brush with death after a fall into a crevasse at nineteen thousand feet, make the story an essential read for anyone who's ever had a dream and made it come true.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bear Grylls","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52712523694398,"sku":"9781493040957","price":733.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9781493040957.jpg?v=1765290017","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781493040957","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
