One of the leading mountaineers of the 1980s and 1990s, British climber (now resident of Tasmania) Paul Pritchard suffered a severe head injury while climbing the Totem Pole in Tasmania, back in 1998. The accident left him with hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body). However, 18 years later, Pritchard returns to the Totem Pole to find out if he can finish the climb. If you're keen to learn more about Pritchard's adventure, watch Doing It Scared, an 11-minute short from Australia to be screened at Banff Mountain Film Festival 2017.
