A former British Army Gurkha who is trying to become the first double above-knee amputee to climb Mount Everest has helped design a key piece of kit to make his attempt easier.

Hari Budha Magar will climb with prosthetics, but the exertion and altitude mean any sweat which forms on his stumps could freeze, causing pain and injuries.

Hari, who served with the Royal Gurkha Rifles for 15 years, has been showing Forces News the specially-designed self-heating prosthetics he has helped to make.
