Climbing
for
Seasoned Gentlefolk
"You
need not have the strength of Popeye on a spinach rush, but you should be
reasonably fit".
"Hernias
and haemorrhoids may be more handicapping than some problems which are more
readily discussed over dinner".
"Spend your body wisely".
"If
you are scared silly all the time you might wonder whether there could be
a more enjoyable sport for you".
Concerning
leaving mobile phones switched off - "... they may not be too pleased
if you are distracted by a call from your urologist".
The
author has climbed extensively at home and far abroad for over forty years
on artificial legs. He has written a guide to outdoor pursuits for people
with disabilities, as well as his autobiography, Legless but Smiling (published
by St. Ives Printing & Publishing Company).
His
ascents of mountains in excess of 10,000 feet number eighty, including the
sixth highest in the World, Cho Oyu, which reaches 26,906 feet.
"In
a boot there should be a space of about half an inch in front of the toes
I am told
(who am I to argue?)"
