Norman Croucher

Norman Croucher is a mountain climber who, despite being a double amputee with two prosthetic legs below the knee, set out to climb Cho Oyu, one of the world's 14 mountains which exceed 8,000 metres.

He has climbed many other mountains, which are listed on his official website

In an early episode of the American TV series Lost, a character incorrectly identifies Croucher as having climbed Mt Everest.
