More about Mud, Sweat & Tears

Bear Grylls is a man who has always sought the ultimate in adventure. Growing up on an island off Britain’s windswept coast, he was taught by his father to sail and climb at an early age. Inevitably, it wasn’t long before Bear was sneaking out of school to lead all-night climbing expeditions.

As a teenager at Eton College, he found identity and purpose through both mountaineering and martial arts, which led the young adventurer to the foothills of the mighty Himalaya and a karate grandmaster’s remote training camp in Japan. Upon returning home, he embarked upon the notoriously grueling selection course for the British Special Forces to join the elite SAS unit — a journey that was to push him to the very limits of physical and mental endurance.

Then disaster struck. In a horrific free-fall parachuting accident in Africa, Bear broke his back in three places. It was touch and go whether he would walk again. However, only eighteen months later and defying doctors’ expectations, a twenty-three-year-old Bear became one of the youngest ever climbers to scale Mt. Everest, the world’s highest summit. But this was just the beginning of his many extraordinary adventures .

 

Known and admired by millions as the star of Man Vs. Wild, Bear Grylls has survived where few would dare to go. Now, for the first time, Bear tells the story of his action-packed life. Gripping, moving and wildly exhilarating, Mud, Sweat and Tears is a must-read for adrenalin junkies and armchair explorers alike.
