Erik Weihenmayer:
The Story continues
Erik Weihenmayer:
Recall years ago we told you about a blind
climber named Erik Weihenmayer? We even did a Q&A
with him with questions from our
readers.
Erik Weihenmayer
is now world famous after his
Summit of Everest in May 2001. His lectures
are booked so far in advance that you can't even
book him unless you have 6 figures; and some say
Everest means little anymore! [Wrong]
So
now what for Erik Weihenmayer? To complete the Seven
Summits! Summer 2002 will take him on an attempt
of Elbrus.
Elbrus
is 18,510ft high and over 70 glaciers cover the
massif. Asia is to the South and since the break
up of the Soviet union this region, a thousand
miles from Moscow, has become notorious for
political unrest and upheaval.
