Well...
Never been compared to the Penguins, but funny.
Really, the 22 min film that Ivan did was for the masses, but still went over well. Really well, actually.. and for a crowd of climbers.
I think maybe climbers don't want to be reminded that they can be injured? Why else would fellow climbs dump on ten years off hard work to get back to something we love? I know I'd help a friend who was injured.

It is temping to go off on you guys here – I think I’ve sacrificed more, and worked harder to get onto the rock again. Not to mention accepted more risk, moving into the unknown.. but.. take what ever shots you like. It makes our story better anyway. (that a advice came to me from Erik Weihenmayer)
Oh, and yes quad can move arms etc.. but no hand function.. so it’s like doing chin ups in handcuffs you top rope climbing wimps.
Hugs,
Brad the quad that climbs
