Overview

Two athletes. One is a new amputee while the other has been an amputee her whole life. In August 2018, Jim Ewing and Maureen Beck journeyed to the Northwest Territories of Canada to climb the world famous Lotus Flower Tower in the Cirque of the Unclimbables. It would become the first all-adaptive ascent of the peak, if they got to the top.
