First time leading a route since losing my leg 4 years ago. I lost my knee, so it's easy to leg the prosthetic behind and climb without it. using the stump to give momentary friction support as I move my right foot - this method works pretty well. What I need though is a rubber or leather sock to place over the socket as smearing on crystal sharp granite is bloody.
excruciating! :) It felt great to place runners again!

Well done Marc, lost mine last year in a climbing accident and starting my long road to recovery. Great to see I am not alone! Nice pic.
