Despite having developed severe frostbite, Andrew survived the experience but amputation of all four limbs was
necessary to save his life from septic shock. Since then Jamie has returned to mountaineering, most recently climbing
the 4478 m tall Matterhorn in August 2016, and has been inspiring others with his ambitious goals, charity work and
motivational speaking.
