Amputee climber breaks artificial leg on Everest

Double amputee mountaineer Mark Inglis has suffered a setback in his climb up Mount Everest.

The 47-year-old snapped one of his artificial legs in two after falling from a fixed ladder.

His wife Anne said it was only a minor problem.

Mrs Inglis said the man who made Mark's legs - Wayne Alexander - is with him on Everest to make repairs.
