If there's an adventure to be had, it's likely that David
Hempleman-Adams has been there first. Ranking alongside Ranulph
Fiennes and Chris Bonnington in the pantheon of British explorers,
he is the first person in history to achieve what is termed the
Adventurers' Grand Slam, by reaching the Geographic and Magnetic
North and South Poles as well as climbing the highest peaks on all
seven continents. The question Hempleman-Adams is most often asked
is, simply: what drives him on? Why risk frostbite pulling a sledge
to the North Pole? Why experience the Death Zone on Everest? Why
fly in the tiny basket of a precarious balloon across the Atlantic?
Is it simply the case that he likes to push himself to the limits,
or is there something more to it? No Such Thing as Failure answers
these questions and more, uncovering what drives arguably the
world's greatest adventurer.
