Erik Weihenmayer

Climbing Mount Everest is hard. Climbing Mount Everest blind is ... impossible. Or at least that's what they told Erik Weihenmayer.This incredible true story follows Erik's quest to reach the summit of the tallest peak in the world - and the amazing team that made it possible.

Mount Everest.
Altitude: 29,029 feet, the highest mountain on Earth.
Extreme conditions have defeated scores of climbers.
For every six who summit, one doesn't survive.

Erik Weihenmayer has never believed in limitations - even though he is blind. And he's good at questioning other people's perceptions of his abilities. That's why it was easy to ignore the ones who said he was crazy to pursue his dream of climbing Mount Everest. Erik knew that he couldn't do it alone. And here's the key - he never wanted to.
