Soundscape

NOMEN EST OMEN: An imposing wall in the Sierra Nevada, 365 meters of vertical rock, aptly named The Incredible Hulk. Climber Erik Weihenmayer may not see what’s in front of him, but he hears it and feels it as far as his hands can reach. Joining forces with his climbing partner Timmy O’Neill Erik takes on the challenge.

SOUNDSCAPE tells the story of how we can embrace nature with the senses we’re given and make the most of the cards life dealt us.

My greatest fear of going blind, wasn’t going blind. It was being left out of everything exciting and adventurous in my life.
