Our friend Heidi is an amazing girl. She is a native of Ouray and has a medical condition called fibular hemimelia, a congenital disorder that caused her to be born without a fibula, an ankle bone, and three toes on her right leg. As a result, the leg was amputated when she was eight months old.

She is a fiesty teenager that loves all things teenagers do! She’s always smiling and let’s nothing get in her way. We just love this girl!

Chris Folsom has been working with her and has created a prosthestic for her to get her out on the ice and into ice climbing!!


And a picture of Dad, Steve, checking on his girl.
Many thanks to Deb Folsom for sharing her photos!!!

Our friend, Deb, shared some pictures of the Kids Climb December 28th. The kids had a blast!! Deb also included a picture of a buck grabbing a bit of a snack from her Christmas Garland on Christmas day.

I’m sorry to report that we didn’t make it up to the Kids Climbing Wall for the kids night climb yesterday. We were lured of by the warmth of our home and just couldn’t get it together to bundle up to join in the fun.

We understand that there were a ton of folks out for the climb! Here are a couple of pix of the Roxby children climbing routes with local guides Chris and Clint.
