July 31st 2017 marked one year after Ryan Titchener’s climbing accident. The Calgary man suffered a crushed spine after a bolder dislodged from a mountain. Doctors told Ryan he may never walk again but that did not stop him from trying. He started by just being able to wiggle one toe, then after months of extensive physiotherapy, Ryan was able to take his first few steps. Fast forward to present time, Ryan has worked his way back to walking and biking. However, he is determined to climb again.
In his interview with CBC Calgary R
yan is also portrayed using ACTIVATOR™ Poles which allow him to keep doing the things he loves while adding more stability and balance to his gait.
