So good, Paul. I really like the concept of "dignity of risk" that you speak of. My dad had cerebral palsey (hemiplegic). He was a Scout Leader, used to hike with us lads when when we were young. He instilled in me my love of hiking, climbing and general adventure - wandering around in extreme environments, minimal gear, minimal impact. Dad was born in Glasgow in 1928, at a time when "disability" was already being reassessed by Scottish doctors. When we moved here in 1964 there was zero integration and people would usually act weird around dad. Thankfully we have moved on a little since then but the efforts by you (and others) to fly the flag for broader acceptance, respect and recognition are paramount. Great work - I look forward to seeing the finished product>

I just rode all the way from Napoli, Italia to Kabul Afghanistan and back. 480 days, 30.000 km on my recumbent trike! It is non the trike that took me there. I took him :-))

Hi Paul, years ago I read your book. Great to see you're still enjoying nature. If you can after all you've been through the rest of us have no excuse. Great day at Mt Field to boot. Cheers, Wello

I can't believe this has been hiding in plain sight; FANTASTIC film.......you should pick up a 2nd "Annual Black Pudding Team Dinner Award" for this effort; I get the feeling it made "Come to Mother" feel like a piece o' piss!

Mate, not just an ascent but a first ascent if I understood correctly. Every climb's a journey, and I can guarantee I've topped out a few routes with a lot less style than you just showed. Well done!

No words can describe this feat! One small comment, you are beating us all by getting better as you get older Paul!

I really enjoyed watching that Paul. I grew up down the road from you near Wigan. I started climbing in 1981, with a bunch of lads from school and our English teacher/library head Rob Lewis (thanks Rob), at Pex Hill. So I always followed and admired the stuff you and your other well known climbing pals got up to. Nice to see you still feeling chuffed in that "whoo!" Moment at the top of a nice route. I live in Oz too now. Victoria. Still climb as often as possible. Usual thoroughly burned by my 16 year old son. I was never anywhere near as good as you. But I've been in love with it for 42 years. Your video reminds me of why. Lovely tribute to your Mum. My mum is a Jean too, 89 years old and still living within sight of Anglezarke and Winter Hill. Thanks and all the best. Karl

I believe a life's worth is determined by what one does with what he has & the cards he's dealt with along the way &... that Mr. Paul Pritchard can certainly attest to that.

yo Paul good to see your vid ... i don't do insta anymore so good to find you hear. Can't believe a quarter of a century has passed since your mishap. so good to see you actually thriving in this world. I'm still so grateful for our meeting in the padarn all those years ago and the climbing instruction that followed which opened the door to many of my own adventures on the rock. Again, you were a true inspiration when i found myself in bangor hospital .. re reading the Totem Pole gave me the strength to come through what i was experiencing at. that time . Thanks a bunch Paul, wishing life continues to flow beautifully for you. si

I’m 67 and I had a compressed spinal cord and a few years ago had two surgeries (combined about eighteen hours total) to fuse five vertebrae, and two laminectomies-to decompress the cord. The neurosurgeon described my spinal cord as having been “squished”. I’m fortunate to still be able to walk. I have lost a significant amount of sensation in both legs and feet, but I can still walk-slow and with a cane. After a lot of PT, I was able to stand and balance and walk. But I rapidly lost lower body strength. walking wasn’t much of an option since at the speed of 1-2 miles an hour, I couldn’t get my heart rate up. Stationary bikes are very boring. So I got an eBike and am rebuilding my lower body. The sensation may never return, but I need to stay strong. I am looking at recumbent eTrikes now, after a couple of falls on the two-wheeler. I need to keep moving and exercising and I enjoy cycling, so it seems like a logical thing to do. So I have the eBike for when I feel capable and the way is smooth, and I’ll soon have a trike for more rough surfaces where I absolutely do not want to fall on loose gravel, small rocks or what-have-you. This is the kind of adventure I only dream about at this point in my life. But there are many more achievable adventures I hope to accomplish.
