Weekend Stoker: She Broke Her Back but Sending Again

During a climbing trip to Turkey, on a routine day, pro climber Rannveig Aamodt made a small mistake that almost cost her her life.

A quick lapse of judgment resulted in a fifty foot fall. Straight down.

Emergency crews evacuated Rannveig by helicopter with fractures to her back, pelvis, both ankles and countless other injuries; both physically and emotionally.

Back in Colorado!! I love the challenge that comes with traveling and having to get used to all the different types of rock and styles of climbing.

According to the doctors, she would never properly walk again, and her future surely was not going to involve climbing.

Armed with hope, determination, and a beautiful perspective on life, Rannveig redirected the trajectory of her story.

She proved that her reaction to her situation dictated the course of her future.
