Mud, Sweat and Tears Book

Bear Grylls is a man who has always sought the ultimate in adventure. Growing up on the Isle of Wight he was taught by his father to sail and climb at an early age. Inevitably it wasn't long before Bear was leading out-of-bounds night-climbing missions at school. As a teenager he found identity and purpose through both mountaineering and martial arts which led the young adventurer to the foothills of the mighty Himalaya and a grandmaster's karate training camp in Japan. On returning home he embarked upon the notoriously gruelling selection course for the British Special Forces to join 21 SAS - a journey that was to push him to the very limits of physical and mental endurance. Then in a horrific free-fall parachuting accident in Africa Bear broke his back in three places. It was touch and go whether he would ever walk again. However only eighteen months later and defying doctors' expectations Bear became one of the youngest ever climbers to scale Everest aged only twenty-three. But this was just the beginning of his many extraordinary adventures ...Known and admired by millions - whether from his global adventure TV series as a bestselling author or as Chief Scout to the Scouting Association - Bear Grylls has survived where few would dare to go.Now for the first time Bear tells the story of his action-packed life.
