Jamie Andrew's background

Jamie Andrew is a Scottish mountaineer who, in 1999, was trapped for five nights on the north face of Les Droites in the French Alps with his climbing partner Jamie Fisher, in a storm with winds of up to 90mph and temperatures of -30C.

Remarkably, he was walking again within three and a half months, and went on to become the first quadruple amputee to climb the Matterhorn, in 2016.
