Josh is a paraclimber based in Melbourne/Naarm, whose life took an unexpected turn in 2019, reshaping it significantly. Josh led an incredibly active life until a sudden incident left him unable to feel and use his lower limbs, leading to a 14-month pursuit of a Hereditary Spastic Paraparesis (HSP) diagnosis.

What a great day for a field trip at the Rogaine - a little rain, but generally great Rogaining weather, although the cloud came down early as we finished. We ended up with 17 participants in 5 teams of 3 or 4 (many of them were trail runners), which enabled excellent learning opportunities. There was great enthusiasm prior to starting the exercise with everyone well kitted out for the drizzling weather conditions - Merv Trease.
