Bear's story of progressing from a broken back in hospital to the summit of the world's highest mountain, is one that touches people globally.

As he says live on stage: "I remember lying there during those long months of recovery and suddenly this dream that I had clung to so tightly and for so long, of climbing Everest, just felt a million miles away. It was beyond what I could believe and I remember vividly looking at the pictures my late father had given me of Everest years earlier, and taking them down. I dismissed it as something childish and something that could no longer become a reality."

But Bear continued to persevere against all the odds and eventually after three months on the mountain, during which four climbers had tragically lost their lives, he was edging ever closer.

"I remember clearing that final lip, lying on my stomach, heaving for oxygen, and looking up in disbelief, that just 200m away was the place that had captured me since I was a little boy. The roof of the world. But however many of these pathetic shuffles I took it never got any closer. I remember the adrenalin beginning to pump - you feel it as this very physical presence that fills your muscles and your veins but which also very quickly leaves you with this weakness that follows as you struggle to maintain that intensity…"

BEAR GRYLLS

MAN VS. WILD host, author and seasoned adventurer BEAR GRYLLS began a lifetime of exploration at an early age.  Bear grew up on the Isle of Wight, and as a young boy would go mountain climbing with his father.

He served three years with the Special Air Service, a special forces unit of the British army. During his service, he broke his back in three places in a parachuting accident over Southern Africa.

Despite the accident and severity of his injury, Bear went on in 1998 to become, at age 23, the youngest British climber to complete a summit and descent of Mount Everest. He wrote about his experience in the book, The Kid Who Climbed Everest.

Not content to slow down, Bear achieved another first when he and his Everest climbing group circumnavigated the United Kingdom on jet skis. He also led the first unassisted crossing of the frozen North Atlantic Ocean in an open rigid inflatable boat. His book about this adventure, Facing the Frozen Ocean, was shortlisted as the U.K.'s "Sports Book of the Year." Bear was awarded a commission in the Royal Navy in honor of leading this record-breaking expedition.

In June 2005, Bear broke a world record by hosting a dinner party at a table suspended below a hot air balloon at 24,500 feet. He rappelled from the balloon's basket to the table, where in full naval uniform he ate a three-course meal before saluting the queen and skydiving to earth. His goal was to support the work of two charities: the Prince's Trust and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award.
