Best Year Yet on Everest!

Erik Weihenmayer, the first blind climber to scale Everest, put together a team to achieve the impossible! To make it happen, he and his team used the Best Year Yet Team Program.

Most teams realize that if they work together well, focus on the same goals and share a strong commitment to their achievement, they'll have a good chance of succeeding

But nowhere is that more true than with a team of climbers who engage in a life-and-death struggle with a mountain that stands over 29,000 feet -- the highest point on earth where humans can walk!

In March 2001, 14 men and women traveled to Nepal in the pursuit of Everest. Sherman Bull, if he made it, would be the oldest person to do so. And another, Erik Weihenmayer, is the man you've heard so much about. Erik is blind and he wanted to achieve the impossible -- the summit of Everest!

They not only achieved the dream but accomplished the most successful ascent of Everest ever! Erik and his team used the Best Year Yet Team Program to achieve these extraordinary results. According to Michael O'Donnell, their Technical Team Leader:

"We were setting out on such an audacious expedition that I knew it would take a tightly run ship to make it work. We needed a focus and plan or we'd never make it. Using Best Year Yet together helped us do exactly that. The results we achieved were truly incredible."
