Climbers with disabilities prove again that where there’s a will, there’s a way

CONWAY — It looked to be a regular day of ice climbing on Saturday when more than 20 climbers and guides piled into the Cathedral Ledge parking lot. But it wasn’t. That became obvious when Brian Fountaine sat down and took off his feet. It became more clear when Sean O’Neill rolled his wheelchair over the snow to get his climbing helmet. By the time Maureen Beck pulled out her prosthetic arm retrofitted with an ice tool there was no doubt something special was happening.

Ever wonder what an ice climbing trip to the Adirondacks looks like? Here’s your chance to find out! All of us did our best to capture photos and videos of the trip, and thanks to George, there’s a finished product with highlights from our trip up to the High Peaks in early February this year.
