Nirmal Purja has set several world records after climbing the world's 14 highest mountains in less than seven months.
23. Though he was born 1,600 metres above sea level, he didn't climb any serious mountains until he was 29.
But Mr Purja was trained to be strong. He used to be a soldier in the British army, where he had special training for fighting in very cold weather. In 2018, he left there to follow his dream of mountain climbing.
There are only 14 mountains in the world that are higher than 8,000 metres. 24.
The old record for climbing the 14 mountains was seven years, ten months and six days. It was set by ROK climber Kim Chang-ho in 2013.
Mr Purja named his challenge “Project Possible”. 25. On October 29, just a little more than six months after he started, Nirmal Purja had finished climbing the 14th mountain.
Though Mr Purja completed his challenge unbelievably quickly, it wasn't easy. For example, during one day of climbing Shishapangma, Mr Purja and his team climbed for 15 hours nonstop. 26.
Mr Purja believes his strong physical condition and his training as a soldier helped him. He hoped his efforts would inspire others. “People are only limited (限制) by their imagination,” he said. “If you don't dream, then you won't do it.”

A. Mr Purja was born in Nepal, in the Himalayas.
B. He had completed five more climbs in Pakistan.
C. He began on April 23, by climbing Annapurna in Nepal.
D. His goal was to climb all of them in less than seven months.
E. They had to deal with winds as fast as 75 kilometres per hour.

23. A 24. D 25. C 26. E
