"When we reached the sacred lakes, it was explained that here we could start “un camino nuevo,” or a “new path in life”. I took the opportunity to dip in the lake and came out feeling ready to start fresh with a newfound energy for whatever was to come next." - Faith Briggs, Director of Toughness

"Shortly after moving to Colorado in 2014, I was involved in a train on cycle incident which resulted in the amputation of my right foot. After 5 years in the Marine Corps I didn't really relate with most traditional therapy methods. Climbing has exponentially improved my quality of life and has saved their lives of close friends after substantial mental and physical injuries sustained in the line of duty. After starting a rehab program, I found Paradox Sports and quickly took to climbing. Despite being new to the adaptive climbing scene, I’ve already earned a spot at Nationals in Atlanta to climb on the 2016 US Climbing Team in Paris - my first international competition! Climbing to me has been a constant reminder that you're only limited by the boundaries that you place on yourself, your life isn't over until you decide it is." - James Sceri

From team climber Sam Elias in Iceland, "Climbing ice can be extremely creative. with ice axes and crampons, you can go anywhere there is ice. You can do whatever movements you like. The glaciers and icebergs of Iceland allowed me to put this philosophy in play on vastly wilder features than I ever have. Classically, ice - waterfall ice, forms from flowing water and abides by gravity. The water conforms to whatever surface it contacts, or it hangs freely and vertically. Since the glaciers are a more permanent form of ice that is many thousands of years old, they can be shaped by water and wind erosion, much like rock. Therefore, the glaciers have caves and canyons, overhanging walls and crazy freestanding structures. Nearly every day in Iceland I climbed something special that I'll likely remember for the rest of my life. Here's one."

"I suffer from a chronic heart condition and I was told to stop doing a lot of the activities that I hold near and dear to my heart, so instead of sitting at home and crying about it I've tried to live healthier to maintain my lifestyle. I chose @spelloftheyukon as my Instagram persona because of the poem by Robert Service, I related heavily to breaking hearts by leaving home and exploring, I've lived across the country and travelled a lot and I can't imagine sacrificing that for anyone or anything. @deusant is my favourite person to explore with, there's something about her energy and equal hatred for Ontario winters that inspire me in ways I can never thank her enough for. She drags me out of this gloomy place and we drive for as long as it takes to stumble into something that makes me take a step back and go, 'it can't all be bad'.

"There are those places that you see in photographs that just drive you to need to see them in person. This canyon in Iceland is one of those for me. It induces that rare feeling of wanting to sit still and take in all the beauty while at the same time run around frantically with a face filling grin trying to explore as much as you can."

"I took my friends on a road trip to the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge over fall break. It was on my bucket list to catch the sunrise from the top of a mountain. As soon as it was light enough to see, we booked it up with our sleeping bags and stove in hand to make hot chocolate. This moment was the high point of our entire trip!"
