Angelino Zeller is a three-time world champion in climbing. And that, although he has been in a wheelchair since a paragliding accident. He is paralyzed from the waist down and cannot use his legs when climbing.
Angelino has always been very sporty and has also worked professionally as an industrial climber. However, when he returned to indoor climbing during rehab after his accident, a spark ignited. He began to train regularly and to master climbing without using his legs. When climbing, he works solely with his upper body strength to gain momentum to perform the next one-arm pull-up through targeted swinging. A tour de force.
The Sarree2000 route in the Aosta Valley is his next project. Italian professional climber Stefano Ghisolfi climbed this 8a+ route back in 2015 without using his feet. Simply to prove that it can be done. When Angelino sees the video about it years later, he knows he has to try it.
