Craig DeMartino never thought this would happen to him. He was 100 feet up a cliff in Rocky Mountain National Park when―with one step―his 13 years of rock climbing experience and 15 pounds of gear plummeted with him to the ground. Expert climbers say that if you fall 10 feet you have a 10% chance of dying, a 20% chance at 20 feet, 30% at 30, and so on. Craig fell 100 feet. By basic calculation, Craig should not be alive today. But he is.
In the months that followed, the pain, the subsequent partial leg amputation, the media attention, and the knowledge that his body was broken challenged Craig on a daily basis. Scarier still was the realization that his faith was broken too. Slowly, as his physical body recovered, Craig’s emotional and spiritual body strengthened as well. In prayer, Craig learned to take God out of a box and allow His plan and promise to be revealed. Looking back, the doctors and nurses played a big role in Craig’s recovery, but it was a series of miracles that saved his life.

Craig continues to rock climb using a prosthetic limb and custom climbing shoe. He has since ascended some of America’s best climbs, including ‘El Capitan’ in Yosemite National Park. In his book After the Fall, Craig and Cyndy say they are thankful God has walked with them through both the valleys and the mountain peaks of life.

Cyndy says of God, “He’s allowing these things to happen for a real reason. And it’s really a very valuable and important reason; which is to draw us to Jesus.”

Craig says, “If I was going to go back and change it, if I was going to go back and reverse it and have it never happen. I don’t know if I would’ve learned the lessons I’ve learned. Because now being disabled, I’ve learned and seen what God can do and that depth probably wouldn’t have been there and I really, really love that depth. It is so fascinating and so amazing. I don’t think I’d change that ever.”
