Extreme paraplegic Barry West

Fearless Barry West believes the sky's the limit -- even if you are confined to a wheelchair. Barry, 35, who lost the use of his arms and legs in a car crash, refuses to let his disabilities hold him back as he has taken up paragliding, skydiving, ­mountaineering, kayaking and skiing. He has even become a qualified scuba diving instructor and has set his sights on scaling Africa's highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, next year. Barry said: "It was tough at the ­beginning, I can't pretend it wasn't. "But whether you have a disability or not, we all need a boot up the a*** sometimes to get out there and do stuff. That's what I hope I'm showing others."
