Weihenmayer was born with retinoscheses, a degenerative eye disorder, and was the first blind man to summit Denali. Soon he became the first blind person to scale El Capitan and then Aconcagua. He then summitted Kilimanjaro, scaled Alberta’s 3000’ Polar Circus, reached the top of Nepal’s Ama Dablam, and in May 2001 the top of Everest.
