It isn't easy to climb the Old Man of Hoy，one of the tallest in the United Kingdom.It is even more dangerous if you happen to be a blind climber，as Jesse Dufton is.The 34-year-old was born with a rare genetic disease that left him with less than 20 percent of his vision，which then kept dropping over the years.He chooses to climb， "because it's better than sitting at home feeling sorry for yourself，right？Climbing is not the most dangerous thing I do on an average day，crossing the road on the way to work is far more risky than Hoy."
Dufton has been climbing mountains since childhood.As a skilled climber，his father would take him out at weekends.He was always physical then，always up for adventure.He played sports at school，though quickly grew frustrated with many of them. "Badminton was a joke for someone like me，and even blind cricket with a ball with a bell in it annoyed me." Instead he was attracted to climbing and skiing，and insists that climbing is one of the safer activities for a blind person to undertake. "True，you can't see the handholds，or the footholds.You can't see where the opportunities are，or where to place your hands and your gear，so you just have to take it slowly.You search around until you can feel for something to hold onto，and then basically repeat the process over and over again.To keep calm in these situations helps."
It was Jesse himself who made a documentary happen.He told the filmmaker Alistair Lee about his pastime，believing it might be worth capturing on film，"I realized my story was quite unusual，"he says，adding that he felt almost duty-bound to share it. "If somebody like me watches it，and they find it inspirational，then it wouldn't be right for me to keep that from them，wouldn't it？"
