Gimps on Ice Scheduled for March 6-8
01.14.2009

Paradox Sports is pleased to announce the second annual gathering of Gimps On Ice  in Ouray Colorado on March 6th, 7th and 8th, 2009. Over the weekend 10 disabled athletes will descend on the Uncompahgre Gorge in Ouray Colorado to face the mile of vertical ice in the gorge, learning about the specialized equipment and techniques needed climb vertical waterfalls. Men and women who are missing limbs or eyes or the use of their legs will gather to challenge themselves physically and mentally and, especially to challenge the common perception that an amputee is handicapped or that a blind person must, by default, lead a second-rate life. Malcolm Daly, Executive Director and amputee, puts it succinctly: "Ice is the great equalizer. None of us can climb it without adaptive equipment. We just go one step further."
