Erik Weihenmayer sees himself as a problem solver and an innovator rather than as a risk taker. One critic told him that ice climbing would be impossible for a blind person. He approached the task from an untried, unique direction. He learned to “see” the face of a rocky surface by feeling through the tips of his tools. Weihenmayer is motivated by a sense of discovery and what is achievable. He charts his plan and moves forward methodically. He develops a system of strategies and tools that make his adventure safer, more efficient, and more productive. He punctuates his message with personal anecdotes.

Get ready to be motivated by this world-renowned author and adventurer. Hear how he finds creative ways to cross the blurry lines between what detractors view as impossible, and what we believe is possible in our hearts.
