Hosted by
Which Way, L.A.? will not be heard this evening. In it's place we feature a special program, originally aired on Politics of Culture. Five years after a tragedy that took the lives of 12 climbers, a blind man is trying to climb Mt. Everest. Join Diana Nyad in conversation with Erik Weihenmayer, author of Touch the Top of the World: A Blind Man's Journey to Climb Farther Than the Eye Can See. He speaks with Nyad by satellite phone from base-camp on Mt. Everest where he is training for his climb, scheduled to begin this month.
