His ”mini El Capitan” rock wall attraction uses rescue technology that Wellman has modified in order to get all kinds of climbers to the top. While a regular wheelchair athlete might tackle the wall with just their arms, there are also has harnesses, pulleys, and mechanical ascenders that can assist climbers. He has worked with everyone from quadriplegics to stroke victims with only the use of one arm to get them to the top.
Climbing is far from the only sport activity to get involved in at the expo. Wheelchair dance troupes from Dallas and wheelchair lacrosse exhibitions are on the schedule, as is a chance to get into wheelchair fencing courtesy of Houston Sword Sports. “It’s always been something we were interested in,” she says. “I can fight someone much bigger or taller than me and still be on a very even footing. It works well with people with limb disabilities.”
