Blind climber leads sighted on risky peaks

Jessie Daffton, the visually impaired British climber, relies on challenging himself and climbing mountains despite being completely blind. He has become the first blind person to lead ascents of high-altitude mountain routes such as Devil's Tower in Wyoming and the Old Man of Hoy. He uses an exceptional sixth sense and extensive experience to read the rocks, and he guides and documents the routes to ensure his team's safety. Daffton describes how inner satisfaction and the sounds of nature are enough to make him happy, despite missing out on panoramic views. He emphasizes his rejection of special treatment and is currently working toward representing Britain in the 2028 Paralympic Games.
