Nepalese authorities have been ordered to reverse a climbing ban issued last year, clearing the way for a former British Gurkha soldier to become the first above-the-knee double amputee to climb Mount Everest.

In December 2017, the Nepalese government banned double amputees, blind, and solo climbers from attempting to climb its mountains, including Mount Everest, in a bid to reduce accidents.
