University student Anna Parsons suffered horrific injuries in a climbing fall accident in the US. In NZ she's adapting to her a prosthetic foot. But Anna hankers to be in the great outdoors. In August 2022, twenty-one-year-old New Zealander Anna Parsons was climbing in America’s Yosemite National Park when she fell 25 metres. The University student broke almost every bone in her body including her neck, spine, pelvis, ribs, and feet. Anna’s left foot was so badly damaged it had to be amputated. She spent six weeks in an American hospital before she could be flown home and transferred to the Burwood Spinal unit in Christchurch. The trauma of this major accident changed her body and her mind.

As Anna starts regaining her physicality, there is one big challenge she really wants to take on – getting back to mountain climbing. But how will her body and her mind hold up?
