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!!
Heidi Topped Out, Again!
Crampons are cool.
And a picture of Dad, Steve, checking on his girl. The DAD.....
Many thanks to Deb Folsom for sharing her photos!!!
