Society imposes low expectations of those who have disabilities”

People get trapped into thinking about just one way of doing things.

I think that it is everyone's obligation they owe to themselves and to their lives to figure out their own way up their own mountain.

Climbing is actually a great sport for blind people and that carried me on to climbing bigger and bigger mountains, snowy mountains, ice faces, and developing different techniques to be able to do that.

I've been lucky to have lots and lots of mentors. I think that is incredibly important in anyone's life to encourage and inspire them, let them understand that their own potential is a reality that they can strive for.

I found climbing to be a very tactile sport. There's no ball that is zipping through the air ready to crack you in the head. It is just you and the rock base.

You can't have self confidence without some real skills that enable you to be successful.
