In October 2017, climber and national park ranger, Quinn Brett, took a horrific 100-ft fall in Yosemite National park when climbing a route on the iconic El Capitan, which Quinn had already climbed before. The accident left her paralyzed from the waist down and she was faced with a new and uncomfortable reality of not having freedom and mobility to explore and adventure.
Although Quinn is very open about how much it sucks to go through, she has achieved some of her most impressive adventures after the accident, including the legendary Tour Divide mountain bike race.
