Young adventurer Alex Staniforth at Khumbu, not far above Base Camp
Man overcomes life's challenges to climb Everest, Nepal - Apr 2016
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/s9ep
A new book tells the remarkable true story of a Cheshire teenager?s journey to conquer Mount Everest.
British adventurer Alex Staniforth, now 20, not only cheated death and survived the biggest disaster in Everest history, but overcame huge personal challenges such as having epilepsy and cripplingly low self-confidence.
In Alex?s recently released debut book ?Icefall? he details his gripping tale of climb up Everest: covering his near miss with death when the 2015 Nepal earthquake struck and caused an avalanche that took the lives of three of his fellow team members.
The book, which is endorsed by renowned adventurer Bear Grylls, takes readers back to Alex?s childhood, when he was first diagnosed with epilepsy.
Alex, from Kelsall, Chester, was diagnosed with epilepsy when he was 9. Suffering with a mild-form of the condition, it was soon brought under control with the use of medicine. However, it led to several other issues.
