On 15 May 2006, double amputee Mark Inglis fulfilled his childhood ambition: to stand on the summit of the highest mountain in the world. Legs on Everest follows Mark's preparation for the Everest attempt, including climbing Cho Oyu in the Himalayas, and the build-up to the summit push. It shows that reaching the top of Everest is only half the journey - you have to get back down alive.
