Jamie Andrew OBE and his partner Jamie Fisher were climbing the North Face of Les Droites in the French Alps when caught in a storm. By the time they were rescued, his partner had died and Jamie’s hands and feet needed amputating due to frostbite.

Despite the challenges faced, Jamie was soon on his feet by means of prosthetics, returning to work a few months later. His inspirational best selling autobiography ‘Life and Limb’ represents a true story of tragedy and survival. 

Jamie Andrew has, since the storm that cost him so much, been active in a number of sporting activities, including running, paragliding, skiing, snowboarding, swimming, caving, and sailing. His biggest challenge was his return to mountaineering. He conquered this challenge in 2000, climbing Ben Nevis and raising over £15,000 for charity.

The next year saw him return to France, climbing the Cosmiques Arete on L’Aiguille du Midi. This was followed by the London Marathon in 2002, an event that saw him raise a further £22,000 in aid of charity. Since then he has climbed a number of mountains in Europe, including Mont Blanc du Tacul (4200m) and The Monch (4099m). An attempt on Mont Blanc (4 800m) was abandoned 300m from the crest due to bad weather.

Jamie also conquered Africa, climbing Kilimanjaro (5 895m), Africa’s highest mountain, raising over £5,000 for a leprosy centre on the slopes of the mountain.

Titanium Man is Jamie Andrew’s version of the Iron Man Challenge. It consists of open water swimming (2.4 miles), cycling (112 miles), and a 26.2-mile marathon completed within 24 hours. It is considered one of the most grueling feats even for those who are able-bodied.
