The American climber who amputated his own arm to free himself
from a fallen boulder last year has started climbing again with the
aid of a specially designed prosthetic arm.
Aron Ralston reportedly has three different artificial arms
including one specially designed for climbing. The most sophisticated
of the three is his 'everyday arm' which moves when electronic
impulses are generated by movement in the muscles in the remaining
portion of his natural arm.
