China's double amputee to climb Everest after ban revoked
Xia Boyu, a Chinese climber, will become the first double amputee to be given a permit to climb Mt Everest after Nepal's top court overruled a government ban on blind and double amputee climbers. Xia, who had lost both legs to frostbite on Everest four decades ago, will make a fifth attempt to summit the world's highest mountain peak.
