Inspiration

"Soon after going blind, I received a newsletter in Braille nigh a group taking blind kids stone climbing. I thought to myself, who would be crazy enough to accept a blind kid rock climbing? So I signed up! Although there was a lot of flailing and struggle in those early days, the freedom of attacking a challenge and problem solving my way through it invigorated me and helped me to feel less trapped by incomprehension. Information technology was this early seed of adventure that fueled an ambition in me that would eventually pb to hundreds of ascents around the world and all the way to the summit of Mount Everest."

No Barriers

As a blind charlatan, I have been lucky to feel a life of significant and purpose – of breaking through barriers. Subsequently I had safely come down from the summit of Mt. Everest in 2001, becoming the first blind person to reach the highest top in the world, my team leader told me something that would change the class of my life: "Don't make Everest the greatest matter you always do."

These words stuck with me, and I have spent the final sixteen years trying to live upwards to that claiming: climbing the tallest peak on each continent; kayaking the G Canyon; authoring iii books; and starting a nonprofit movement, No Barriers.

Thank you for "Roping Up" with me.

What Clients Are Proverb

"Your bear on at Google has been significant. Your bulletin on climbing with people that want to get to the acme together caused me to re-organize my team at Google.  And then everyone is angry with you. Just kidding, they are in a much better place and as a team we accomplished a lot more than than we thought we could."

"Equally always, Erik was awesome and the audience was truly inspired/motivated by his message. I know for me personally, Erik'southward words and deeds cause me to reverberate on my life and the "summits" I should exist aspiring to reach. We're lucky to have had the chance to spend some time with Erik.."

He made mental toughness await like taking a nap."
