rehanass Posted May 21, 2001 Posted May 21, 2001 hi everyone! please i'm an above knee amputee who loves climbing, and also a prosthetics & orthotics student. I suppose you know Hugh Herr, he is a bilateral below knee amputee well known for his hard climbs. I would really like to get in contact with him. I believe he can report me quite useful information about climbing, prosthetic and also personal. Please if you how i can get in contact...... thank you Quote
dan_e Posted May 21, 2001 Posted May 21, 2001 Well after a quick search on the net, I located his name in the staff at MIT. I am only assuming this is the same Hugh Herr, since there were references to "The Leg Laboratory". I don't know much about his personal life, so the rest is up to you, good luck! Here are the links: http://www.hmcnet.harvard.edu/pmr/faculty.html#hughherr http://web.mit.edu/bin/cgicso?query=hugh+herr He is an amazing climber. When I hear his name I think of a him on this sick 5.12+ X climb called "Stage Fright". There is a pic of him on this route in a NH rock climbing guide. I've seen this climb first hand and it's an inside corner with a finger/finger tips crack in the center with smooth granite for sides, and it's eXtremely difficult to protect.
