A True Story Of Risk, Resilience and SurvivalAfter a life-changing neck injury left him paralysed, Ed Jackson defied the odds to walk again. Driven by a renewed perspective on life and determination to push his limits, Ed set out to climb Himlung Himal-a 7,126-meter peak deep in Nepal's Himalayas. But as the climb unfolded, what began as a daring expedition quickly became a test of survival.Joined by fellow climbers Ben, Beetle, Arron, and their guide Bigraj, Ed faced extreme conditions-treacherous glaciers, near-misses, and snowstorms that prevented the team from summiting. When altitude sickness forced Ben to turn back, Ed made a fateful decision just meters from the top, realising that success wasn't about reaching the summit but knowing when to stop. As they descended, the true danger revealed itself.Stranded on the side of the mountain with no shelter, minimal food and water, and fading hope, the team endured a harrowing night, unsure if rescue would ever come. Isolated in the freezing wilderness, they confronted not only the unforgiving elements but their own fears, doubts, and vulnerabilities. With Bigraj's courageous efforts and a helicopter rescue arriving the next day, the climbers narrowly escaped with their lives.From the Mountain's Edge is more than a tale of adventure. It's a powerful story of resilience in the face of overwhelming adversity, the bonds forged through teamwork, and the courage it takes to recognise when a goal has stopped serving you. As Ed reflects on the perilous journey and the emotional toll it took, this book becomes a profound meditation on the strength it takes to walk away-and the lessons that come from facing life's greatest challenges head-on.Lucky was a Sunday Times bestseller in the w/b August 9th 2021An inspirational, motivational non-fiction autobiography, this biography of mountaineering and travel delivers edge-of-your-seat sports and recreation with real emotional weight.
