Erik Weihenmayer
Erik Weihenmayer is one of the most celebrated and accomplished athletes in the world. He is the first blind person in history to climb Mount Everest and when he stood on the top of Carstensz Pyramid in Iryian Jaya, he completed his quest to climb the “Seven Summits” -the tallest peak on each of the seven continents.
Erik has achieved countless mountain summits, often first ascents around the globe and he continually seeks out new adventures. Erik and blinded Navy veteran, Lonnie Bedwell, kayaked the entire 277-miles of the Grand Canyon on the Colorado River, considered one of the most formidable whitewater venues in the world.
