I am from Coronado and have known Steve and Elizabeth Wampler for years and their two beautiful children. They lived in the same condo complex where my late Mom lived....I knew Steve was wonderful and kind and funny and friendly but I had no idea he would do the amazing climb up El Capitan! ..He is one awesome dude! and we are blessed to know this fabulous Wampler man and his family!....Jinx Hack Ring

You are blessed .😊
That’s cool! It’s such a shame that there are so many horrible comments on videos about interabled couples, or simply just couples (disabled or not) who just function a bit differently from what society considers “the norm”
Steve is such a friendly, personable guy! I've met him 3 times after I learned of his climb. ( I was deep into climbing after recovering from parasthesia from the chest down and I was up in Yosemite the week he was first scheduled to climb (rained out??). I missed it the week he completed El Cap) I burst into tears, seeing him roll into the first place I met him in Coronado. I'd never been star struck by meeting celebrities, but meeting my superhero in real life made me into a sobbing mess. After I composed myself, He introduced me to Elizabeth, his parents and his children and was as cool as a cucumber! So great to see both of you at a TED talk!!! I cannot wait to support you in your next venture!
as a caregiver, i have never delt with cerebal ...i am glad i watched. so i learned from someone who actually knows!

WE FELL IN LOVE FOR TH' HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER REASONS OTHER PEOPLE FELL IN LOVE FOR!~
Steve is adorable and sweet I have a loving boyfriend that have a disability like me a sweet and nice guy that loves me. My boyfriend name is Nick. God bless you. You and Steve are a adorable couple❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your story here. I cannot stand it when able bodied people keep accusing couples who are different of being “fake” etc.
Well I was hoping as a disabled person to like this Ted talk….. imagine saying “on the outside I was faking it”
I really like high wheelchair. Why has this taken so long to develop?
HOW CRAZY WAS YOUR FRIENDSHIP?
If i ask 'gently' about your condition... GRILL ME!. I'll treat you like a human if you treat me like a human.. disrespect is the worst emotion you can show anyone!
15+ year caregiver... personal health cancer... deal with dementia daily.
the other option is... she is selling something for money... it involves your heartstrings?
She is a loving and caring person. She just does not have the education and knowledge of sufferer's
HOLD UP... INSTEAD OF A MAN... THERE WAS THIS BIG CONTRAPTION IN FRON OF YOU? THIS IS A WOMAN WHO DID NOT WANT THE CONDITION SHE WAS HANDED, WHO WISHED IT WOULD END QUICKLY. WHO HID BEHIND RELIGION... BUT... IF PUSHED TO THE LIMITS... WOULD KILL
