This movie brings truth and new meaning to the phrase "You can do anything if you put your mind to it." Erik Weihenmayer is an inspiration to blind people and sighted people alike. Not only was this film inspiring, a great story, and a historic landmark, but it is beautiful to watch too. Captured in HD this film is a must for your anyone's DVD collection.

This stunning movie deserves much more attention than it has received to date. A story well told, it contains beautiful, crisp cinematography of the mountain scenery all the way up; nearly flawless editing that moves at a thoughtful measured pace - built by the painfully long, evocative shot of Erik crossing the first iceladder - interviews that highlight the human side - and of course, the incredible climber himself.

Erik, understated, modest, optimistic and determined, with a sense of humor and a commitment to achieve, is a classic American hero.

See it, be inspired, and share it widely as this film deserves.

This was better than I ever imagined. No wonder it received many awards, it was seriously amazing. The story itself is just mind boggling, but the scenery and commentary were fantastic. The 2nd DVD of the making of the documentary was fantasic as well. It's also very family friendly, with only 1 swear word that was bleeped out. We watched it on Christmas day with my whole family, and everyone was just amazed. Truly a great DVD to own!

This DVD is the real deal. This is not the movie they made about his climb, but the incredable film of his actual climb. Watch the real man who defied the odds. If this does not inspire you, you have to be dead.

Fabulous film. I am touched by the beauty of nature, of human being, of mind, of accomplishment...
