★真正橫空出世！ ★破紀錄爬完14座8000公尺高山的超級強者！ ★不可能的任務？──7個月內、8000公尺、14座高山 ★Netflix 獲提名紀錄片原著 ★揭開「Nims傳說」，還原登山家的養成之路 他用 6 個月又 6 天的時間，登上了 14 座世界最高峰。 同時打破了 6 項世界登山紀錄。 他是尼泊爾人，他是最強的廓爾喀戰士，他是──寧斯?普爾加！ 「有時候你想做的事，對世界上其他人來說是不可能的，但這並不表示對你而言也是不可能。如果你能啟發一兩個人，那麼你就能啟發全世界。」 地球上海拔高度超過八千公尺的高山，一共有十四座。在這樣的高度以上，空氣中的含氧量只有海平面的三分之一，外加酷寒、強風、雪崩和冰隙危機，人們一般將八千公尺以上的險惡環境稱為「死亡地帶」（Death Zone）。 ★★★1. 不可能的任務？──七個月、八千公尺、十四座高山★★★ 史上第一位完成十四座八千公尺高峰登頂壯舉的，是傳奇義大利登山家梅斯納爾（Reinhold Messner），他前後共花了「十六年」時間，終於在1986年達成。而在本書作者寧斯?普爾加成功之前，最快的紀錄是由已故南韓登山家金昌浩（Kim Chang-ho）在2013年所創的「七年十個月」。相較之下，普爾加在計畫最初宣稱欲挑戰的「七個月」時限，簡直就是天方夜譚（一般來說，攀登一座高峰，通常需要兩個月時間，這還不包括體力恢復期）。知名登山家及奧斯卡獎紀錄片導演金國威在Netflix片中受訪時就坦白說道：「2019年春天，登山界開始談論起一位來自尼泊爾的瘋子，沒人聽過這傢伙是誰，大家都在問，『這個叫寧斯?普爾加的傢伙到底是誰？』」 廓爾喀軍人和英國特種部隊出身的寧斯，軍旅生涯穩定順遂、表現傑出，在2012年才首次挑戰登山，卻在 2018 年毅然決然退伍，投入登山志業，並在隔年展開他「七個月、八千公尺、十四座山」的計畫。而且他把這個在幾乎所有人眼中都「不可能」的計畫命名為「可能任務」（Project Possible）。 然而計畫一開始就備受挫折，所謂「登山」的傳統、歷史、和行為規範，可說是西方白人一手寫就，尤其是八千公尺以上的高山。即使近年也有不少登山者會感謝或提及攀爬途中協力的雪巴人，但得到的名聲和實際待遇相較之下還是天壤之別。身為尼泊爾人的寧斯可說是在全世界的反對和質疑中展開計畫，一路上遇到太多挫折和冷言冷
