Amputee Climbing Everest
No Comments »3rd May, 2006; Category: General
New Zealand mountain climber Mark Inglis is having a little trouble climbing Mt. Everest.
He’s broken his artificial leg. And he has two of them. He is attempting to be the first double amputee to conquer the top of the world. But it seems he is determined to push on to the summit – with his broken leg patched up with duct tape! Onya Mark!
It makes all my troubles climbing this area last January seem just a tad insignificant in comparison. (For my adventures go to the Archives section of this blog.)
