Blind due to the rare genetic disease retinitis pigmentosa, Jesse Dufton¡¯s climbing has only progressed. After competing on the para-circuit and successfully on-sighting E2 routes, his ambition is now set on an E3: the infamous ¡°El Matador¡± (5.10d) on Wyoming's Devil¡¯s Tower. What unfolds is a remarkable feat of persistence.
Following on from our first film Climbing Blind. Where we see blind climber Jesse Dufton and sight guide Molly Dufton ascend the iconic Old Man of Hoy, this film picks up the story of Jesse¡¯s incredible climbing career.
