The Enock Glidden special

Yesterday - in part one of our Enock Glidden special - Enock mentioned that some years ago he found a new passion in rock climbing. And in October 2016 – two years ago this week – he attempted to climb the most iconic big wall in the world of climbing: Yosemite’s El Capitan. The 3,000 ft wall is a dream for many and attracts climbers from all around the globe. Climbing El Cap is demanding for experienced climbers who are in full control of all their limbs. Tackling the wall as a climber with a limb difference seemed almost impossible. But that didn’t prevent Enock from giving it a go. But see for yourself.
