　　Erik Weihenmayer was born with an eye disorder.As a child his eyesight became worse and then，at the age of 13，he lost his sight completely. However，he did not lose his determination to lead a full and active life.

　　Erik became an adventurer. He took up parachuting，wrestling and scuba-diving.He competed in long-distance biking，marathon and skiing. His favorite sport，though，is mountaineering.

　　As a young man，Erik started to climb mountains. He reached the summit of Mount McKinley in 1995 and then climbed the dangerous 1,000-meter rock wall of EI Captain. Two years later，while climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Kenya with his girlfriend，they stopped for a time at 13,000 feet above sea level—in order to get married. And then，on May 25,2001，at the age of 33，Erik successfully completed the greatest mountaineering challenge of all.He climbed Mount Everest，the highest mountain in the world.

　　Erik invented his own method of climbing mountains.He carries two long poles：one to lean on and the other to test the way ahead of him.The climber in front of him wears a bell to guide him.Erik is a good team member.He does his share of the jobs，such as setting up the tents and building snow walls.

　　Although he could not enjoy the view，Erik felt the excitement of being on the summit of Everest.He hopes that his success will change how people think about the blind.“When people think about a blind person or blindness，now they will think about a person standing on the top of the world.”
