Stirlingshire filmmaker found himself in real life Himalayan rescue drama

A Buchlyvie filmmaker battled sub-zero temperatures more than 6000 metres up in the Himalayas alongside paraplegic climbers with no food, water or sleep.

Alexander ‘Beetle’ Campbell and a team had earlier broken the altitude record for climbers with spinal cord injuries, reaching 6900m on the 7126m peak of Himlung Himal in north west Nepal. The previous record was 6000m.

One member of the expedition is paraplegic and another an incomplete quadriplegic.
