3:09Now PlayingOn most Tuesdays, Doug Redosh can be found at Movement climbing gym in Golden. At 69, the retired neurologist has been climbing for 50 years and still feels a rush.
He's conquered cliffs for decades, but they are no match for his current climb: a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
“Parkinson's is, as we say, neurodegenerative disorder. Usually, we say people have nonmotor symptoms early on and later they develop motor symptoms -- stiffness, rigidity, slowness in movements and tremor,” he said. “I was formally diagnosed in 2019, but my father had Parkinson's, so I knew I was at high risk.”
After the diagnosis, Redosh kept climbing, figurately and physically, by creating a local chapter of a program called Up Ending Parkinson’s.
