An inspiration

I was at the climbing wall last night and was inspired by two guys that I met. Both were double amputees and climbing routes.
They were part of the Help for Heroes “Battle Back” programme. It was great to see them climbing and to see the support they received from their training team. The determination and fight that the guys had to complete the routes was amazing and seeing them succeed gave me great pleasure.  You always feel good watching anyone get to the top of a route, but there was something special about watching these two reach that top clip. It will be an experience I will take into the mountains and pull on when times get tough.
It was also great to see that the money raised for the “Help for Heroes“ charity is being used effectively and that the soldiers are getting real benefit from the programme.
