Erik Weihenmayer an inspiration?

I find Erik Weihenmayer an inspiration because he made the effort to climb mount everest and he did what he went there to do. He was also blind so I think it would be a lot harder but i thinks its good that he made the effort. I think it's good how all these people would make comments on how "if Erik made it and he is blind then anyone can make it" and he would just ignore it and not really care what people would say about him.
