No one could fail to be gripped by his heartfelt excitement and emotion over what was the adventure of a lifetime' – Independent

At the age of 23, a young challenger named Bear Grylls set out to defy nature's mightiest peak, Mount Everest. With the relentless drive to conquer and a heart weighed down by a past marred by a life-threatening accident, Grylls overcame the obstacles to become one of the youngest Britons to claim Everest's summit.

The expedition, chronicled in Facing Up, was marked by uncompromising weather, debilitating fatigue, severe dehydration, and sudden illnesses. Yet, Grylls' determination never wavered, his spirit and humour pushing him through every obstacle in his path.

Facing Up isn't just a narrative of a dangerous mountaineering adventure, but a testament to enduring friendships, unyielding faith, and resilience against impossible odds. Join Grylls in his Himalayan adventure, an all-consuming ride, from base camp to summit, that will leave you breathless and dare you to chase your own Everest.

Bear Grylls spent three years with the British Special Forces. During this time he had a horrendous parachuting accident in southern Africa, breaking his back in three places. Two years later he overcame the odds to become one of the youngest British climbers ever to reach the summit of Mount Everest, and this story forms the basis for his bestselling memoir, Facing Up. Looking for another adventure, Bear tackled the treacherous North Atlantic seas in Facing the Frozen Ocean. Bear Grylls is one of the most recognized faces of survival and outdoor adventure and one of the most successful motivational speakers on the world circuit.
