Half Mans Head for Heights
croatiantimes.com
Brave half man Chen Lin showed he's got a head for heights after he hauled himself nearly 5,000ft up a Chinese mountain using just his hands.
Chen, 29 - from Shandong province, in eastern China - lost both his legs in a train crash 16 years ago and walks on his hands using two stools to balance on.
Now Chen - who has a wife and two children - has set his sights on climbing China's five 'Sacred Mountains', once places of pilgrimage for emperors.
"I don't let things beat me or get me down. This is my life, this the way I am. I just have to be strong and face life," he explained.
Yesterday (July 12) he successfully climbed Songshan Mountian in central China after a seven hour trek.
"That was my second and I have three more to go which I'm determined to do," said Chen.
