[AMP-L] Amputee Milly Pickles Completes World's Steepest Race

[Wayne Renardson]

via BBC:

"As an amputee, you avoid hills, you avoid rocks," says Milly 
Pickles. "Because you can't feel your foot and you don't know what's 
going to happen."  

Milly's just returned from Slovenia, where she competed in the Red 
Bull 400.  

Known as the "world's steepest race", it's an all-out 400m (1,310ft) 
sprint up a ski slope with inclines of up to 75 degrees.
