4. Miura was not the only record-setter on Everest in 2013. That same year, 30-year-old Sudarshan Gautam became the first double amputee to reach the summit.rnrnGautam lost both arms in an accident while flying a kite in Kathmandu, Nepal. When his kite became tangled in electrical wiring, he used an iron rod to free it. The Nepali-born Canadian was electrocuted and suffered severe burns to both of his arms, which led to the double amputation.rnrnGautam's motto is "Disability is not an inability." He lives by his words. He has had reached the peaks of other mountains before, including Mount Ramdung at 5,925 meters (19,439 ft) and Mount Yala at 5,732 meters (18,806 ft). He also climbed Mount Everest without the use of prosthetics.
