If you’re looking for a lesson in determination, look no further than Climbing Blind. The documentary, which is available here and for streaming on SurvivorNetTV, tells the story of Jesse Dufton, who is determined to climb the iconic Old Man of Hoy sea stack off the coast of Scotland despite his physical limitations.
Dufton is blind, having lost his vision gradually due to an inherited condition. But his story, and his determination to make it up the nearly 500-foot Old Man of Hoy, serves as a beacon of hope.
Read More Climbing Blind also showcases how important it is to have a support system when going through difficult times. In Dufton’s case, the support system is his partner, Molly, who also serves as his eyes while he climbs. “Molly is kind enough to lend me her eyes when we’re climbing,” he explains. “So, she’ll spot critical holes from the bottom, and she’ll help me spot places that might be good for gear. Without Molly … I wouldn’t be climbing.” Check out Climbing Blind + many other inspiring documentaries on SurvivorNetTV!
