Beyond the Barriers

View one of the most unique and amazing rock climbing adventures of all time, when blind climber, Erik Weihenmayer, joined his friends, Mark Wellman - a paraplegic, and Hugh Herr - a double-leg amputee - to take on an 800 foot classic desert tower in Moab, Utah. Their experience led to the inception of No Barriers, a nonprofit organization which showcases cutting-edge ideas, approaches, and assistive technologies which enable people with challenges to break through personal barriers to live full and adventurous lives.

That's pretty amazing. Some people can't do that even if all their limbs are working.
