In 2003, 24-years old Alan Lock began to rapidly lose his vision. Instead of crawling into a corner, the young UC Berkeley grad and Royal Navy Officer has already lived a lifetime. Next, he aims to be the first blind person to ski from the Coast to the South Pole.

The face mask not only unlocked ExWeb stories this Everest season but could also help you summit with proper use. "I believe use of the mask is in fact most important during the early acclimatization stages for high altitude climbing," said Eric F. Meyer, M.D (K2, 2008).

Currently Wendy is out on the Arctic Ocean, running beside a dogsled. Her ability to run long distances though, was born out of a challenge she set for herself after being diagnosed with MS. She tells ExWeb about changing her initial negative emotions into big challenges.
