Human's abilities are infinity. They are unstoppable from learning, experiencing, or human instinct. The most important thing is the spirit that brings process of abilities, then nothing is impossible.
In case of three US amputee veterans have successful reached the top of mountain Kilimanjaro. Two of them lost their both legs, and one who has one good leg which is the only one leg among these three. Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in Africa. And they reached the top at day six.
These three amazing people have done the thing that most of non-disabled people wouldn't dare to do. This is a great inspiration for other people to face all problems without discouragement. Other than their courage, they was working with expertise, and self discipline. Mountain climbing is very dangerous and high risks, the atmosphere is unsuitable for human due to the bad weather, the dangerous topography, or lack of oxygen atmosphere. That means they have to careful every of their steps; for instance, they had to stop frequently to adjust their prosthetic legs to prevent the loose scree-covered paths. Although courage can brought them to do this, but without carefulness, mistake means their lives.

Mountain climbing isn't something I want to do myself, but I also thought the three were pretty amazing.
