Kilimanjaro Summit Attempt in a Wheelchair

Chris Waddell

In March of next year Chris Waddell (pictured on the right) will make every able-bodied person take a long hard look in the mirror after he climbs Kilimanjaro unaided in his wheelchair. The guy who’s taken home four gold medals for skiing in the Paralympics will attempt the 19,340 foot peak on the anniversary of the accident that left him in a chair. Chris Waddell has gone out and accomplished, and all without the benefit of his legs; what, sir, have you done?

Thanks Tim

    Ah, Fuck it. That’s right. Tattoo it on your forehead. Your revolution is over, Lebowski. Condolences. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me Lebowski? The bums will always lose!

    Dude: You thought Bunny’d been kidnapped and you could use it as a pretext to make some money disappear. All you needed was a sap to pin it on, and you’d just met me. You thought, hey, a deadbeat, a loser, someone the square community won’t give a shit about.

    Lebowski: Well? Aren’t you?

    Dude: Well… yeah.
