The Erik Weihenmayer Story
On May 25, 2001, Erik Weihenmayer became the first blind man in history to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Seven years later, on August 20, 2008, Erik joined the elite ranks of those who have climbed the Seven Summits—the highest mountains on each of the seven continents. Fewer than 100 mountaineers, sighted or blind, can claim this honor.
