In 2001 Erik Weihenmayer climbed Mount Everest. He has completed all of the Seven Summits-the tallest peak on each of the seven continents. His latest achievement was kayaking the length of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. All of these achievements are impressive in their own right, but Erik went blind at 14. In this episode we discuss Everest and his latest book, No Barriers: A Blind Man’s Journey to Kayak the Grand Canyon. Enjoy the episode!
