surviving alone and blind on Mount Everest
About an hour after he left the South Summit of Mt. Everest, Brian Dickinson became snow blind. To make matters worse, his Sherpa guide, Pasang, had become ill during their ascent, and with only 1,000 feet to go, Dickinson had sent him back to camp. Dickinson attributes his successful blind descent to his Navy survival training, his gut instinct, and faith.
