For one scene in his upcoming documentary, “4 Wheel Bob,” Tod Skloot followed Bob Coomber up 11,700-foot Kearsarge Pass—which Coomber climbed in a wheelchair. It’s just one part of a chronicle of strength and determination that took Skloot seven years to film. Says Skloot: “While Bob isn’t a fan of the word ‘inspiration,’ when you look at him doing these things and see the determination, and yet generosity, as he meets people, I was inspired to grumble a little less and try to do things that have meaning.”
