During a climbing trip to Turkey, on a routine day, professional climber Rannveig Aamodt made a small mistake that almost cost her her life. A quick lapse of judgment resulted in a fifty foot fall. Straight down.
Emergency crews evacuated Rannveig by helicopter with fractures to her back, pelvis, both ankles, and countless other injuries; both physically and emotionally.
According to the doctors, she would never properly walk again, and her future surely was not going to involve climbing.
Armed with hope, determination, and a beautiful perspective on life, Rannveig redirected the trajectory of her story.
