This is the story of my friend, ice climber Bob Timmer, who was not only diagnosed with one, but TWO inoperable malignant tumors--one in the brain and one on his spinal cord. He used climbing as a means to cope with the cancers and through it learned to control his fear of heights.

Today he is still climbing fervently and does it completely cancer-free. Below is a link to an inspiring short video of his determination to survive. I hope everyone at Alpinist enjoys watching.
