Jesse Dufton is a British mountaineer and para-climber. He has had Cone-Rod dystrophy from birth, due to which he has lost all his vision; he can just see light and still manages to climb mountains that astound the world. A physical barrier is easily broken by strength and resolution. Dufton recently conquered the extremely tough El Matador peak in Wyoming, often termed Devil’s Tower. As Dufton ascended this 500-foot mountain, small rocks fell on him. His wife and fellow mountaineer, Molly Dufton, was guiding him from the bottom. Dufton would climb by grabbing onto small ledges and placing his feet on the joints of the mountain.
