In January 1999 mountaineers Jamie Andrew and Jamie Fisher were trapped for five nights on the stormbound icy summit of a French mountain. Their rescue, which was one of the most dramatic in the history of the Alps, came only hours too late to save Jamie Fisher. Jamie Andrew survived, despite suffering hypothermia and appalling frostbite; days later his hands and feet were amputated. For many this fate would have meant the end of all hope, but not for Jamie. Since losing his hands and feet he has learned to walk again, taken up skiing, run the London Marathon, and returned to climb once more in the mountains that he loves so much. Jamie Andrew's incredible story of determination and courage is nothing short of inspirational. In June 2000 he climbed Ben Nevis, Britain's highest mountain, raising over £15,000 for charity in the process. Jamie tells his remarkable story with passion, enthusiasm, sincerity and humour and invariably he leaves no-one in his audience unaffected.Producer Beyond Extreme.
