Double amputee summits Everest 40 years after first attempt
A 69-year-old Chinese double amputee on Monday reached the summit of Mount Everest, four decades after his first attempt. Xia Boyu lost both his legs after suffering frostbite in a failed Everest expedition in 1975. The only other double amputee to summit Everest is New Zealander Mark Inglis, who achieved the feat in 2006.
