586: Blindness Is No Barrier to Life's Peaks

Erik Weihenmayer was shattered when at 14 a genetic illness left him totally blind. Soon, he connected with an organization that gave him new opportunities, like rock climbing. He recalls running his hand along his bedroom wall thinking, "Who would be crazy enough to take a blind kid rock climbing?" Today he helps thousands of people with challenges face adversity and live with no barriers. He is the author of several books, including "No Barriers."
