Today we’re heading further up Everest with climber and ex Naval rescue swimmer Brian Dickinson!
So put your hiking boots back on and try to hold your nerve! We learn about how unlucky taking a shower can be, and how monotonous the initial part of climbing Everest can be - and while monotonous at times, this is only one of the harsh challenges Brian will face!
