  1. Eric Weihenmeyer became blind when he was 13, and lost his mother in a car crash at 16. He took up rock climbing and other extreme sports, never allowing his blindness to get in the way of his passion for life. He always wanted to achieve the impossible-the summit of Mt. Everest. Any climber faces a life and death struggle on that mountain, and Erik had several unique challenges in his way. He can’t find a trail through the ice or tell if it’s solid enough to step on. He climbs by listening to someone in front of him, but he always wants to pull his own weight in the team. In 2001, Erik won the battle with Everest, making him the first blind climber to reach the summit of the world’s highest peak.
