A Life-Changing Journey

Golinkin was born with a rare genetic condition that caused him to lose his sight at the age of 17. Despite this setback, he refused to let his disability define him. He went on to earn a degree in computer science and worked as a software engineer for several years.

In 2017, Golinkin set out for Everest with a team of experienced climbers. The journey was even more challenging than he had anticipated. He had to navigate treacherous ice falls, climb sheer rock faces, and endure extreme weather conditions.

But Golinkin never gave up. He drew on his inner strength and the support of his team to overcome every obstacle. On May 25, 2017, he reached the summit of Mount Everest, becoming the first blind person to ever do so.
