Hello:
I received the glasses and I just wanted to tell you what they mean to me. I have been a professional climber now for 41 years. Whether it is as a sponsored climber or a guide, or a gear tester or a gym owner I have always made my living by climbing. Recently (3 years ago) I had some serious injuries (a 23 foot fall off of a dry tool and landed in a sitting position and pretty much destroyed my neck.) I broke part of C6 and the bone ended up in the nerve canal of c7 and also the disks for c5, c6, c7 were gone, destroyed. I had an operation where the vertebrate were cleaned out of the bone fragments and a cage was built around the vertebrates. My pain level went from a constant 7 to a ZERO!! Boy it felt great but there was one big problem. I could no longer raise my head up to see. So I could no longer look at a route I was going to climb, no longer belay, in other words my career as a climber was over. Two days after the operation My wife, Lena, was reading the Canadian Climbing Magazine called Gripped and they had a small product review about your glasses. She insisted I try them ASAP so I went about trying to contact you. Now that I have a pair I credit you with saving my career. The glasses have really made my life worth living again as now I can again climb. I really can’t thank you enough for what you have done. I would like to ask you though to send some more literature over to me so I can give it out every chance I get. May God bless your endeavours and thank you so much for what you have done.
Off belay
