How disabled ex-rugby player Ed Jackson became first to climb 4,720m mountain

Former professional rugby player Ed Jackson was the first person to complete a recorded ascent of a 4,720-metre mountain in Kyrgyzstan last month.He experienced a life-changing spinal cord injury back in 2017 and was told he may never walk again, but he exclusively tells the Daily Mail how 'adventure has been a massive part of my own recovery'.Ed, who also has Brown-Sequard Syndrome, prepared for the big climb for two years and set out to complete the daring journey with fellow climber and amputee Luke Tarrant, who sadly had to pull out due to needing medical help for some swelling.
