Show Notes

Ben revisits his conversation with adventurer Darren Edwards and provides an update on Darren's most recent mission to redefine the impossible.

While mountaineering at "World’s End" in North Wales, Darren plummeted 100 feet after the rock face gave way beneath his feet. The impact shattered his spine and severed his spinal cord, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down.

Darren discusses how his best friend, Matt, saved his life in a split-second moment and what his recovery process has looked like beyond the initial physical trauma. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
