This guy was truly amazing. This is the ceremonial first pitch by a paraplegic in a wheelchair. This guy made a machine that has little catepillar tracks on it that are run by hand cranking thru a series of cogs and chains. This machine was made so that he could hand crank himself across snow fields. The snow fields he hand cranked himself across were the ones that took him to the top of Mt. Ranier. Mt. Ranier is 14,000+ feet high and usually takes a day up and down. This guy, I think, did it in 11 days.
