As a fellow climber, your story has inspired me for years - it's awesome how you have springboarded from that tragedy to do some good. Before asking my question, I just wanted to give you props for being awesome.

My question: I seem to recall the owner of Trango being very involved in various efforts to design and improve climbing-specific prosthetics. Are you using something he designed, or are there any other sources for artificial limbs that work well for climbing? It seems like so many other sports have SERIOUS research dedicated to creating great limbs for them (running especially), and I'm curious how the effort compares for the much more niche sport of climbing.

Our country faces an existential threat. Because of this we must put party aside and rally around the person most likely to stop Donald Trump and unite our country.

and why is that person not Hillary Clinton? I mean, she won the popular vote by a massive margin, so I could see some justification for switching your vote to her if you're really trying to put party aside. To me, this seems like it's putting party (and EC members' political career) first, by trying to let the Republican party elites choose a President, rather than the people.

it acutally works out to be a 6 year olds prosthetic foot with the toes ground off and covered in climbing rubber.

This is, for some reason, way cooler than it has any right to be. The DIY-style description really reminds me of the early days of climbing, when trad protection like "nuts" were literally hardware store nuts with a sling through them.
