It was an early morning. Peter Corbett helped Mark Wellman out of his wheelchair and onto the ground.

     They stood before El Captain,a rock almost 1. 2 kilometers high. Mark had long dreamed of climbing El Captain when he was a child. At the age of twenty-one,he fell while climbing mountain,losing his legs. But he never lost his love for life.

Mark knew he couldn’t finish the climb alone,but his friend Peter would be there to lend a helping hand.

     They thought it would take seven days to reach the top. Now Peter climbed about 30 meters up and hit a piton into the rock. Fastening one end of a 50-meter rope to the piton,he let the other end of the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and fastened it to his belt. He next reached above his head and fastened a T-6ar to the rope. Mark took a deep breath,pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms could reach,and began the first pull-up. High above,Peter let out a cheer ,“You’re on your way. ”

     For the first four days the two men progressed upward without accident. But on the fifth day,a very strong wind began to blow,making it hard for Mark to hold on to his rope. But Mark kept on pushing up the T-bar and pulling himself up.

It took them one day more than they had expected. But as the two heads appeared,the group of people waiting on the top went wild with joy.

     Mark Wellman showed that if you set your heart and mind on something,no wall is too high,no dream impossible.
