Jesse Dufton is an avid traditional climber. He has scaled some of the most iconic rock faces across the world. If that is not impressive enough, Dufton is also blind and relies on a headset and his wife Molly Dufton's guidance to climb.

Jesse and Molly Dufton join host Scott Tong for more on their story and hopes for the Paralympic Games in Los Angeles in four years where para-climbing will feature for the first time and may include a blind athlete competition.

This segment aired on November 19, 2024.
