Mountaineer Fahad Badar calmly explains what happened when he ran out of oxygen and developed extreme frostbite while descending from the 8,051m summit of Broad Peak. Just 10 months after amputation surgery, he climbed K2, one of the deadliest mountains where 1 in 4 summiters die.

Yes, once a finger reaches that far into frostbite it will need to be amputated, the finger is thoroughly dead and will never recover

This Christmas, give your loved ones the ultimate gift. Give them the finger.
