Blindsight: Totally Blew Me Away

Erik Weihenmayer, a blind mountaineer, was the first blind person to summit Everest. In this documentary he helps organize and lead an expedition into the Himilayas while showing 6 blind kids the top of of the world. I know what you're thinking... but this documentary is definitely worth the time to sit down and watch. Blindsight is bomb.

Old Man on the Mountain: Bomb

True to the book, the oldest fisherman brought a young buck along for his last big hurrah. I dont actually know if it's the old mans last but he's the oldest Yank to reach the summit of Everest and the nymph is the youngest. The weather finally broke for the teams and the made a break for the top. Good on em.
