A former Gurkha and Special Boat Service member is the star of a new Netflix documentary.

'14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible' follows Nimsdai Purja MBE as he climbs the highest 14 peaks on Earth, setting a new record.

Mr Purja conquered the peaks in six months and six days - smashing the previous record of seven-and-a-half years.

With a team, he climbed Mount Everest, K2 and 12 other iconic peaks through extreme weather.

All the mountains they scaled were above 8,000 metres.

Also, as an executive producer of the documentary, he was filming, directing and operating a drone while traversing the mountains.

The documentary will be out in UK cinemas on 26 November and available on Netflix from 29 November.
