Notes
Description
Prior to December 2018, no individual had ever crossed the landmass of Antarctica alone, without support and completely human powered. Yet, Colin O'Brady was determined to do just that, even if, ten years earlier, there was doubt that he'd ever walk again normally. From the depths of a tragic accident, he fought his way back. In a quest to unlock his potential and discover what was possible, he went on to set three mountaineering world records before turning to this historic Antarctic challenge. Honest, deeply moving, filled with moments of vulnerability -- and set against the backdrop of some of the most extreme environments on earth, from Mt. Everest to Antarctica. THE IMPOSSIBLE FIRST reveals how anyone can reject limits, overcome immense obstacles, and discover what matters most.
