Jamie Andrew
had been passionate about rock climbing ever since he was 16 years old. But in 1999 while climbing in the French Alps, Jamie and a friend got caught in bad weather and were trapped on the mountainside for five days and nights. His friend died of hypothermia, and Jamie survived but had to have both his hands and feet amputated after he developed septicaemia. In spite of this Jamie was determined to climb again, and in 2000 became the first quadruple amputee to climb Ben Nevis, Britain's highest mountain, using artificial legs and sticks.
Hyperthermia? Err - unlikely. So easy to confuse with the correct word. Bit like astrology and astronomy ...
