Adapted from Chapter 10 (GARY GULLER: SHATTERING STEREOTYPES) Of the book “Bright Trimphs From Dark Hours” by “David Heenan”

The climbers’ unprecedented accomplishments were featured in countless newspaper and magazine articles and numerous national and international television reports. They had achieved a goal many considered unthinkable: In the face of adversity, they had overcome the odds. “The freedom to explore is a freedom that everyone should have, regardless of their abilities or disabilities,” Guller told his admirers."
